rm on a directory with millions of files

Is there a better way to remove this folder?

My Microsoft Exchange 2010 installation server suffers from disk space absence sometimes. To work around this problem I usually just go ahead and remove log files on my mailbox folder.
I have to do it every 3 months. Is it possible to set up a recurring task in Windows Server, so that it would check the size of the mailbox folder, and if it exceeds, for example 4 GB, remove all the log files?
After my computer had an unexpected shutdown my MySQL installation got broken, so I started reinstall the package.
I've followed this link to completely remove MySQL but seems I had no success doing this. I've continued the uninstallation and moved to the installation step.
Accidentall I created the folder on remotely server (Server OS is Linux) using php: mkdir("folder_name",0);
Now I can not delete this folder from server.
