What’s the fastest way to delete a large folder in Windows?

I want to delete a folder that contains thousands of files and folders. If I use Windows Explorer to delete the folder it can take 10-15 minutes (not always, but often). Is there a faster way in Windows to delete folders?

Other details:

  • I don’t care about the recycle bin.
  • It’s an NTFS drive.
