On older "computer systems", it was much much quicker to clear a folder by deleting the files in reverse order because this meant there was no need to keep rewriting the complete directory as each file was deleted (the OS could just truncate the directory size each time).
I've no idea if this still applies to the latest versions of windows (or perhaps windows on a tablet) but it might be worth testing.
