How to quickly empty the Recycle Bin (1.000.000+ files) Windows 10?

the files are small - with a total weight of about 25 GB, "empty the trash" can not cope overnight.
upd: *powershell.exe -command Clear-RecycleBin -Force * hangs for several hours, there is no obvious sense.

C:\Windows\System32\cleanmgr.exe
Or just delete the folder on the desired drive:
rmdir /q /s C:\$RECYCLE.BIN

Try to delete from the command line with the command
del / f / q *
I always clean temporary folders like this (a bunch of files usually accumulate there) - it works an order of magnitude faster than Explorer.
It is convenient to run shell commands from any file manager, from Far manager for example.
