Recycle Bin Deletion Record
-
I just decided to delete from my backup recycle bin all but the most recently deleted files. It took a few minutes to prepare to delete, and now it says it's going to take 30 minutes to delete 206,082 items that total 23.9GB. I think I'll just head out for the day while it finishes. What's the longest it has ever taken to empty your defenestration bin recycle bin?

I think I speak for most sane people when I say "that is just ridiculous!!".

Actually, I was deleting all my pictures since I've upgraded all my "content" to videos. Before you say "pic or it didn't happen", pic (SFW). :)

There is a key named 'Shift' on your keyboard, learn how to use it!

pffft. Real Men don't even bother going to get a coffee if it's under 1 million items. (or 1.4M in my case over the weekend...)

Wait till you start moving 200 ior so gigabytes from one USB drive to another on the same USB port. Took many many hours, and had difficutly getting it to succeed (was replacing my backup drive). Fortunately that was with an early laptop.

It would take you less time to go out and buy cheap components, build a computer, setup OS, get the HDDs out, install them in new computer, transfer files and put back those HDDs. You don't even have to install an OS, just use some bootable CD with copy tool and you probably had spare machine laying around... What the hell were you thinking?

Pretty much. It was very painful. Thank god had a better computer after that to transfer files.

23.9GB of non-video "Gentlemens Interest" pics is a significant stash! :omg: Or was, at least. What did you do, organise them as a very quick slide show? :laugh:

I dunno - perhaps you should get the Pox Doctor to have a look, just in case?
