Deleting to recycle bin lags initially
When “F8/Del deletes to recycle bin” is enabled, deleting files the deletion process lags several seconds before beginning. My guess is that there’s some directory walking being performed before deletion starts, but I’m not sure. Anyway, it’s really annoying having to wait, and I’m seriously considering disabling this function. I like having it on at work, however, just to be extra-safe that I don’t mess up.
Anyone else have this problem? I've had it on two of my computers at work.
Thanks!

Hello !
• I've this option enabled here, and I never noticed the issue you suffer…
- The most times, I use +Shift to delete directly (my Recycle Bin is always empty).
- But even when I miss “+Shift” by mistake, the deletion is immediate, this occured here this afternoon still…
• I guess that TC is not the culprit in the case, but rather some other programme¦Shell extension¦Plugin
or whatever in the same painting which slows down the process…
Kind regards,

Maybe one of the drives with a recycled directory on it is currently inaccessible?

How many files are in there? It seems that Windows scans the recycle bin the first time you delete something to it. I empty it regularly, and it always stays quite fast...

Haha, oops. 20 684 files (or “objects” as explorer likes to call it), totalling 3.5 Gb.ghisler(Author) wrote:How many files are in there?
Hm, I guess this may be the problem. After having emptied the recycle bin (which I had, in fact, already disabled.), things went really fast.ghisler(Author) wrote:It seems that Windows scans the recycle bin the first time you delete something to it.

So this isn’t a bug in Total Commander, per se, but in Windows’ handling of the Recycle Bin. Sorry about that.
And thanks for taking the time to look into this. At least we learned something.
