# purge

Utility for deleting directories that contain files/subdirectories

with long path names.

## Get it

Download [purge.exe](/dist) from the dist folder.

Or, build it yourself.

## Usage

Pretty simple. It takes one argument; the path to the folder or file you want to delete.

```

purge 

```

Path can be absolute, or relative to the current working directory.

## Why?

Because deleting `node_modules` manually is a pain.

## Wishlist

* Explorer Shell integration. Probably not happening because I don't C++.
