Deletion of folder with two milions files

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?

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"?

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

I asked because when getting the numbers via Everything, they may be outdated.

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*.
