So? Windows has this thing called the "del" command that does the same
thing as "rm".

If you want to delete EVERYTHING, an exec("rm -r $path") could
potentially be much more efficient.
You'd be trading the cost of opening up a mini-shell against PHP
iteration, so it would depend on the number of directories, but if
there are LOTS of files, the rm -r will probably win.
