I suggest to add a check box 'Skip Recycle bin' in the 'Synchronize directories' right-click options 'delete left', 'delete right', 'delete on both sides'.

Sometimes I have to delete many thousand of files (100,000+) and deletion of so many files takes ages. I use this command at the command prompt to speed deletion:

Code: Select all

for /L %f in () do @del /f /s /q RECYCLER\*.* >nul&@ping localhost >nul

to delete/empty Recycle bin all the time because deleting gets very slow when recycle bin gets filled.

Thanks.

You can press/hold Shift before clicking/confirming the deletion also in Synchronize directories, just like when deleting files in TC's main window.

I knew about pressing/holding 'shift' in main window...but I never tried it in Sync Dir... Thanks!
