A particular user have a very large OneDrive folder with nested subfolders so I'm just wondering how can I modify my current script so that it'll be able to delete large folder with so many nested folders inside it.
Right now it's working fine for a folder that does't have too much nested folder and too much large items but it's not working if it's has too many nested subfolders with many large items.
The recomendation I get from internet is try to delete in batches but not really sure how to modify my current scripts to do that it'll also not give me threshold issue while it's executing.

$Ctx.Load($Web)
