Recursively Delete Directories #133

Closed unrealapex closed 1 year ago

unrealapex commented 1 year ago

It would be nice to have the ability to recursively delete directories in Netrw. I think it would be a good addition to Vinegar because most modern file managers for Vim have this feature and Netrw itself does not include it. @tpope do you think Bram might accept this feature? Shall I attempt to file an issue in the Vim repository?

I would email the maintainer of netrw, Charles E. Campbell, about it. That's not something I would want to take responsibility for in Vinegar.

I understand. It appears other users have asked about this feature. His reason for not implementing is the possibility of accidental folder deletion. His concern is understandable but it seams irrelevant considering there is a prompt.
