Is this just a matter of our enabling the feature on the applicable volume by following the procedure in the link below, and then the Help Desk admin (or end user) simply deleting the folder with a zillion files? And it should delete fairly rapidly? Is it that simple or is there more to it? Thanks in advance!</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><A href="https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/flexgroup/manage-client-async-dir-delete-task.html#enable-client-asynchronous-directory-delete" target="_blank">https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/flexgroup/manage-client-async-dir-delete-task.html#enable-client-asynchronous-directory-delete</A></P> Wed, 04 Jun 2025 09:52:07 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Fast-Directory-Delete/m-p/442351#M41885 TMADOCTHOMAS 2025-06-04T09:52:07Z https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Fast-Directory-Delete/m-p/442692#M41941 <P>In case anyone searches for this topic, I found out from our NetApp rep that indeed it is this simple!</P> Wed, 22 Mar 2023 18:01:12 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Fast-Directory-Delete/m-p/442692#M41941 TMADOCTHOMAS 2023-03-22T18:01:12Z
