Deleting many small files on servers very slow
Posted: 31.08.2017, 08:02
Hello,
I regularly use Freecommander to delete many small logfiles. The search of files using my own settings is very quick and responsive.
The process for deleting the files is very very slow. For example, when I need to delete 50.000 files it takes minutes preparation and the a very long time to delete.
I tried multiple delete options, the Freecommand method, the Windows method, result is the same. Other tools for example Total Commander is a lot faster but that is not my tool of choice.
Any suggestions to speed up the process?
