Deleting Files Take Forever
sometimes when I need to delete a bunch of files the system just kinda hangs
there. For example, when I had to delete windows.old directory, after finally figuring out how, the system just sat there for about 5 minutes before it even began deleting the files. Why does it seems to take longer to delete files than it did in XP?

It happens when you either want to delete a couple of large files (typically movies) or many small files (1000). Strange thing is that when delte this files from another computer (using file sharing), it works as it should. could this have something to do with indexing? Hope a solution is found soon.

This also happened to me as well with beta 2, builds 5600 and 5728. However
build RC2 5744 seems to be fine. Copying a 3.59 gigabyte file from one sata drive to another took less than 3 minutes. Deleting the file (3.59 gigabytes) from Vista took a couple of seconds to drop it into the recycle bin. The recycle bin emptied correctly when prompted. "Stuart Nathan" wrote in message ...
