Is there a faster way to delete a directory using Cygwin command line without deleting every single file/sub-directory?
I'm trying to delete a directory so I can clone it from github again, since it got messed up. But there are just way too many files/sub-directories to remove them individually. Is there a faster way of doing this?

You want the rm command.
rm -rf my_messed_up_repo
look at rm --help for more info.
