    👉 Note: You have to have "Winrar" in order to do this.

    #1). Right click on the undeleted folder.

    #2). Archive the undeleted folder "as if you're going to zip/rar the undeleted folder as a rar file.

    #3). In Archiving Options > Check the box for "Delete files after Archiving" Winrar will delete this folder itself from Archiving.

    This will delete the undelete folder for good. You're going to thank ne for this!
