in thread Recursive Directory Tree Deletion in Windows

the script might have to be run several times, because it does not delete directories when they still have files in them. - Just keep running it until 0 file and 0 directory are deleted.

Use finddepth() instead of find() to have File::Find report all of a directory's entries before reporting the directory name itself. Depth-first searching allows you do clean out a directory before you try to delete it.
