NEWBIE - How do I delete a yo project directory

Forgive me if this sounds simple.  I am working on a Windows 7 machine and have been playing with yoeman developed directories.  Now that I feel comfortable with that portion of nodejs, I would like to delete all those "playground" directories, since the machine that I am working on is a corporate owned asset.  But when I use the command line "rmdir XXXXXXX /s", it only goes so far into that project before windows tells me that the filename is too long.  I assume this is because of the many many duplicated modules that a (yoeman) project creates and also the way that Windows deletes files and folders.  So, does anyone have another route that I can take to remove these 'playground' directories without doing it by hand??



npm install -g rimraf
rimraf XXXXXXX

Windows' old APIs can't deal with new long names. Guess which tools still use the old APIs!

But rimraf has your back -- it's a node module that uses the new APIs that node uses and can work without restrictions.



Not really a node or yeoman problem:

Thank you Adrian.  I had forgot about selecting the folder and doing a "Shift+Del" action.  Worked like a charm.  You just have to make sure that the folder you have selected is the only one that you want to delete.  Not something to do when your half asleep.
