Delete large folder
by taru.tarak from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AMET)
Hello,
I have a folder size 195 GB. I need to delete it. For this I have tried with below:
Code:rm -rf /backup/folder_nameI have 16 GB RAM on our CentOS 7.9 server, consuming too many resources and still do not delete it after few hours.
It will be great help if someone help me out with any easy and fastest method to delete that folder.
Thank you.
