Why is it so slow to delete files?
Posted: Sat Nov 15, 2025 1:23 pm
I am syncing my Lightroom photo directories.
One directory is on an SSD drive, the other one is on an HDD drive on the same computer.
The sync needs to delete 37455 files from the HDD drive.
Only a few files can be deleted per second, and the whole deletion process takes more than 2 hours.
I am using version 8.69.
Are newer versions faster?
