You can try below command also.

1.Open command prompt

2.Run below command

RD /S /Q pathOfTheFolder

ex: RD /S /Q C:\Users\Me\Documents\NewFolder

Here /S- Delete all sub folders and files. So once you delete any folder, all files and folders with in that folder will be deleted

/Q - Doesn't show Yes/No confirmation dialog box before deleting files are folders.
