Introduction

A module to delete large directories without consuming disk and processor resources. I designed this module because I am often deleting large Netbeans source distributions. I sometimes have a cleanup session or what ever you call it. This consumes my disk IO and makes other processes run slower. This tool helps get around that while being able to delete old files and cleanup my hard drive. Once installed. Click on a directory in any view and choose "Delete without limiting system (CPU and Disk Friendly)". The directory will be deleted. While deleting progress will be shown in the NetBeans progress bar. THERE IS NO UNDO, SO BE SURE WHAT YOU WANT TO DELETE IS WHAT YOU "REALLY" WANT TO DELETE!

Re: Delete current project

I'll see what I can do. This is probably related to an API change in the NB core. I bet I need to call FileUtil.refreshFor and pass the removed folder path. I'll see what I can do.

Delete current project

If you delete the current project from the Files Tab, it is still shows up in the Projects Tab. It would be nice if the Projects Tab refreshed.
