Question: https://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/377141-emptying-a-folder-in-1-click/

"Is there a software out there that can empty a specific folder in just 1 click? No questions ask just delete all its contents in just 1 click."

AlomWare Toolbox solution: Since the user wants to delete a specific folder every time, he could use the action below to do it, either manually by double-clicking the action in the Action list, or by assigning the action to a hotkey trigger. Nothing is seen when this action is run; it just does the permanent deletion immediately in the background.

As you can see, the folder is specified in step 1, and step 2 does the deletion. Note that the folder is deleted even if it's marked as read-only, so use this action with care! :o

(Start)
HOW TO USE: Copy from Start to End, and then paste into an action.
REFERENCE : See an example of pasting at alomware.com/paste.png
0001 Folder: Assign "c:\folder\to\be\deleted"
0002 Folder: Delete ""
(End)
