Deletes stuff, hopefully quickly
This video benchmarks several popular suggestions for deleting files quickly on Windows and compares them to nmuidi.
How to use
As a command-line tool
You can download using the link above. The easiest way to use it in Windows is to make a folder (something like C:\bin
) and add that folder to your path. Then add nmuidi.exe
file you downloaded to that folder and restart any terminals you have open.
Then you can run nmuidi /path/to/some/dir
and you should see some output like the following:
→ ~\repos\nmuidi [main ≡ +0 ~1 -0 !]› nmuidi test
Cleaning test
To change the log level, set the RUST_LOG
environment variable:
PowerShell: $env:RUST_LOG = 'trace'
CMD: set RUST_LOG=trace
The output will then look something like:
→ ~\repos\nmuidi [main ≡ +0 ~1 -0 !]› nmuidi test1 test2
Cleaning test1
Cleaning test2
Total time: 10.00s
Directory timings:
dir test1 took 5.00s
dir test2 took 5.00s
Done.
As a package
cargo add nmuidi
- add
use nmuidi::nmuidi::Cleaner;
- Create a cleaner and clean
Cleaner::new("some/path").clean();
Why the dumb name
- It's an inside joke https://steamcommunity.com/app/570/discussions/0/558748653730465633/
- Having a complicated name makes it harder to accidentally nuke a folder. This program does NOT ask you to confirm, if you tell it to delete something it will start deleting things immediately.
