XY hangs & crashes on deleting many files from a search
Posted: 09 Apr 2021 20:01
I needed to delete some leftover files that a program I use leaves behind in folders it accesses. I had to do this on my main drive and backup drive.
I just searched for the folder name that it created and that each contained many files. I then selected all those folders that were found and hit delete.
Once on a networked NAS and once on a USB attached drive, in both cases XY deleted very fast about 99% of the files then it just hanged forever on the last bits. Had to force shutdown on XY.
