![]() ![]() ![]() Another is that you can accidentally format the wrong volume, but really any approach to mass deletion of files carries the risk of deleting the wrong ones. One disadvantage of reformatting to delete is that you need to be an elevated administrator. This is obviously not an option if you need the files to survive a reboot. Even ordinary recursive deletion on the RAM disk might be much faster depending on what's causing the slowdown. If the total size of all live batches is smaller than your physical RAM, you could also put them on RAM disks (using, e.g., ImDisk), still formatting or unmounting the volume to delete them. Tens of thousands of 20K files sounds like not too many gigabytes. The speed of reformatting is independent of what's on the volume since it ignores the existing file system and just writes a new one. Windows 10 has native support for mounting files as disk volumes. I don't know why Explorer is so slow, but you might consider putting each batch of images on a separate filesystem volume and quick-formatting the volume to delete them. ![]()
