Occasionally I have folders to delete that contain hundreds of thousands of files and sub-folders, sometimes over 100GB of data. It can take a day or longer, if File Manager doesn't crash and I have to start it all over. Really a pain!
Does anyone know why? Is there anything that I can do to my Windows-10 system to make if faster?
I have written a small .BAT file that seems to bypass the normal File Manager to delete these folders using ReboCopy and it is much faster than issuing DOS DEL and RD commands. I would be willing to share this code, how should I post it? Where? I deleted a folder, and a clone of it and compared the timings: 25 seconds with my BAT file vs 2.5 minutes with File Manager. Better timings as the files get larger.
