A faster way to delete millions of files in a directory

For anybody who might try to copy and paste from this article it is actually "rsync -a --delete empty/ your_dir". The dashes are improperly encoded for a copy/paste.

I was just looking at that. The authors use of 'a' in the command (for directory) made is confusing. Thanks for making your clearer to read at a glance.
