Yes, but then emptying the trash takes forever.
I mean when Shift+Deleting, or emptying the trash, Windows should:
- mark the folder as "garbage" in the filesystem and rename it to something impossible to free up the name
- hide the folder from the UI (apps should not see the file anymore)
- schedule a real deletion (reclaiming the space) with low priority in the background
- in case of a crash, chkdisk should detect garbage files and delete them.
- Houshalter 9y agoWho cares how long it takes to empty the trash? It solves the problem of freeing the name and removing it from view of the user instantly. Your solution wouldn't make emptying the trash any faster.
- maxxxxx 9y agoEmptying the trash slows down the machine a lot so other processes are suffering.
- ams6110 9y agoAnything in windows seems to have the potential to slow down the machine a lot. I'm not sure why that is but process priorities don't seem to be well implemented. Turning off Windows Defender makes Windows Update run much faster.
- maxxxxx 9y agoI remember somebody at Microsoft explained the trash in Windows to me in a similar way. The problem is that from observation it doesn;t seem to work that way....
