Deleting files under Vista extremly slow (patches applied)

[Stevie1]

Hi all,

I'm using the latest TC in vista.
Some minutes ago i unpacked a ZIP file with 982 files (unpacked 8 MB).
Now that I installed everything I wanted to delete the the unpacked files.
It tool almost 5 minutes to delete those files. I already applied the Vista wonder patches for performance etc... I'm really clueless what could trigger this problem. AntiVirus wasnt the problem (NOD32).

2Stevie1,

Can you confirm this behavior?
Otherwise a good workaround is to use <Shift+Del> for deletion.

Kind regards,
Holge

hi holger!

well this is really interessting.
i always delete with shift+del. this is the method
that took about 5 minutes to delete!
but i didnt have checked the "Use Explorer delete method".
now that i checked it, the deletion process takes 1 second.
very impressing! but i wonder why the tc method became that slow with vista. is tc maybe not really vista ready?

That's interesting!
For me, it's no significant time difference between "Explorer delete" and <Shift+del>.

I'd made one additional test and unchecked "Configuration->Options..->Copy/Delete [ ] F8/deletes to recycle bin (Shift=directly)", and deletion with <Shift+Del> is horrible slow.

Is this option unchecked in yours TC configuration?

In this case it seems that the files aren't deleted, but moved to recycle bin!

is tc maybe not really vista ready?

Sometimes I ask myself: "Is Vista really ready"?

Just now, I got a non responding explorer (2 minutes) during this test, simply because explorer shows recycle bin while deleting a lot of files.

Maybe the first Vista service pack will fix some annoyances.

TC's delete method "move every single file to recycle bin" is maybe not the fastest method, but I see no reason why TC+XP can do this in a reliably time, while TC+Vista needs ages to do the same job.

Kind regards,
Holger
