Deletion of folder with two milions files

[pmpb]

Bug occured during deletion of folder with 2kk+ files. After removing 2kk (two milons) files percentage value equals 100%. With next files we got 101%, 102% etc.

Normally this happens when there are more files during the delete phase than there were when counting. Did anything in the background continue to create files in that folder?

[pmpb]

No, there was no background process. But TC was able to count files(before deletion) more quickly than W10, maybe in that place is some bug/assumption hiding?

Do you use the tool "Everything"?

[pmpb]

No, but what you need? Is there any other message channel where we can communicate more efficiently?

[ghisler(Author)]

I asked because when getting the numbers via Everything, they may be outdated.

[pmpb]

In that case I do not use Everything. I was unable to open this folder in win explorer, and I am not sure about opening in TC. After all there was 6kk files in this folder and TC deleted all (300%+).

Sounds like some integer overflow to me. Integer is 2^31 (2,147,483,648). 6 million files is three times that (300 %).

Huh? 2^31 is 2.1 billion, not 2.1 million.

Dalai,
Uhhh.... right... well, move along, there is nothing to see here. This is not the explanation you're looking for *waves hand*.
