Certainly true with larger numbers of files/folders being deleted.
Crummy examples, but it's sort of like …
If you want to replace the entire engine in a car it'll be faster/easier to remove it all together instead of the individual parts.
Or if you want to empty a pitcher it's faster/easier to dump the contents all at once instead of pour it out a glass at a time.
Or if you're cleaning a window it's faster/easier using a large squeegee than spot cleaning with a small cloth.
Or if you're painting a wall it's faster/easier using a large brush that covers more area at a time than doing it with a small artist brush.
