Markdown, WSL and Docker lover ~ PHP developer ~ Insatiable curious.
Have you ever deleted a website from your FTP client? It's easy, just select the folder containing the website and press the delete key.
Easy, simple and ... so slow. It takes ages to suppress files / folders. Several dozen minutes! Ouch.
If you've a SSH connection to your web server and if you're comfortable with it; you can rm -rf the folder and it'll be done in seconds.
But what if you don't have SSH or fear to make errors?
There is an alternative, the erase.php script.
