Hi

I get this error constantly while trying to delete folders which are large in size. 50gb or more at least. The folders usually have sub folders as well. That's all i'm doing is deleting nothing more.

When the box appears after clicking on the screen choosing the switch option does nothing and the Explorer hangs and i have to use quit using task manager.

Any assistance is welcome.

Thank you.

I assume you are using 22.40.0200 or earlier? This problem will be solved or at least minimized in the upcoming 22.50.

In the meantime you can try to turn off the Hover Box: Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show Hover Box. Creating this box is often the cause of that annoying dialog. If that does not help then also turn off this: Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show file info tips.

Thank you for the reply.

I seem to have found a work around meanwhile.

I have two external hard drives. I set the recycle bin to 20gb so as not to overload the drives with redundant files. I reset it to 100gb and the problem seems solved.

Aha. Interesting information!
