Windows has sunk so low that a partial fix of a basic file operation that MS repeatedly crippled is supposedly an achievement worth reporting about. The bar is buried in hell and the OS struggles to pass even that.

Now that agentic AI garbage will wipe your entire hard drive before you even have time to pull the plug.

Great. Delete the tracking IDs next

Why would deleting a large file take any different amount of time than deleting a small file?

Probably deletes faster than it takes to open the start menu or an explorer window

I’m so confused as to who needs to delete files quickly.

Load files? Yes. But deleting them?

If you’re worried about an fbi raid or something, just stick a can of thermite above the disk and blow torch to get it lit; or something.

For everything else there’s just good data security.

Windows can just be very sluggish in moving files in any way when there's a large volume in number or size.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I guess my point is that there’s very few people that are actually concerned by how quickly a file is deleted

It’s just a weird thing to brag about.

It is if it's maxing your hdd and make doing other things slow
