Is there a faster way to delete folders?

[Doug Suiter]

If I delete a folder in cyberduck, the application seems to want to
delete each file in that folder one at a time which can take a very,
very long time.

Is there a faster way to just delete the entire folder and it's
contents in one stroke?

Most protocols such as FTP do not support a recursive delete of directories therefore we have to invoke a command for every single file.

Perhaps it could use a different method when connected via SFTP, which is increasingly becoming standard. `rm -rf` should do the trick in one go.

If possible it would be useful to allow for customization of which method a delete should use. But definitely faster recursive deletion would be spectacular.
