forcey
Progressively delete stubborn files and directories on Windows.
forcey is a Windows command-line tool that permanently deletes stubborn files and directories while using only as much force as necessary. It escalates from normal deletion to attribute cleanup, elevation, permission repair, ownership changes, and finally locked-handle closure.
