I have Medium size VM in West Europe region.
On C disk there is a folder with ~74k files (>5GB). Now I want to delete it permanently. I press Shift+Delete in Explorer on the folder icon and the system starts to delete the files.
But the speed is very, very slow and I cannot figure out why it's so slow. Average speed is not more than 10 items/sec (it takes several hour or even days to delete the entire folder).
What is the reason for this behavior?
