Do it from the command prompt. I know this is 2009, but seriously, some things are faster from the good ol' command prompt.

Ah! The oddity of the Vista file deletion. I don't get why it takes so long to delete files in that OS. Its not a big deal, just mystifying as to why it can be noticably longer than anything else. I put in a sweet screaming 5 drive Raid 5 array, and it doesn't speed up file deletion a lick. Go figure. Makes me want to dig out a copy of Norton Commander from somewhere. I am happy though that it is one of the very very few 'issues' I have had with it (Vista) however. :)

"Deleting 69,713 items ..." "41 minutes remaining ..." That's about 1700 files per minute and 28 files per second, much faster than if you delete file one by one manually. Stop complaining! :)

command prompt: rd /s/q "<path to temp ASP.NET files>" MUCH MUCH faster

Just be glad Vista isn't giving you a UAC for each file... "An application tried to delete this file. Are you sure you want to let it?"

I'm sorry, but that's 3000% completely unacceptable. Seriously, deleting local files shouldn't be this hard. Somewhere I remember reading a quasi-logical excuse for this, but still, it's absofugging ridiculous.

I read that and felt a sudden urge to throw out my poor computer which is not running Vomista.

Hang on, mate, I am in no way defending this. It's a frickin' disgrace, nothing less. I'm just offering an alternative.

Is it really deleting or just moving them to the recycle bin? X|

That's my intention, but Vomista sounds closer to Vista than Vomitista/Vomitsta and its still obvious what I mean. I think.

Why not? It took him probably hours and days to create those files. All system is asking is 41 minutes. Isn't that a reasonable demand?

Good point. Then I think the system needs, simply out of courtesy, to provide me with some entertainment, such as RMS being taken down, WWE style, by several small penguins.
