Effortlessly delete Windows files & folders with this AutoHotkey hack👀

Here I demonstrate a simple script that will allow you to, recursively, delete folders based on a name using AutoHotkey.
I initially wrote this because AHK Studio creates a lot of backup files but they all have the same name. This will loop over all the folders beneath what you select and delete any that match what you put in the variable name.
