Retarded Recycle Bin
SO recently my recycle bin has started to take ages, and I mean AGES, to empty.
I just emptied it now; just about 50Mb or so of porn, yet it took literally 5 minutes to complete. I have no idea why it's started being so slow to empty. I've done nothing system changing or anything like that that could effect it. I'm confused Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Porn + computer = Virus
You done proper checks and all that? There's nowhere I can't reach. |
It could have something to do with needing to defragment your hard drive. (Start->run->dfrg.msc and get working =p )
How ya doing, buddy? |
See if your hard dive isn't running in PIO-mode (should be DNA). Head to your device manager and check it. See screenshot.

The reason? Windows only deletes the references in the allocation tables (which stores the file name, date(s), attributes and location) not the data itself. This is why you can recover files later. How many files did you try to delete? I was speaking idiomatically. |
Windows never will actually delete the data. When you delete something from the Recycle Bin, it removes those references you are referring to. When something gets put in the Recycle Bin, it's not much different than moving a file to a folder where the folder has no external read access.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
and Brandy does her best to understand

So what happens if you get a virus? And try to delete it? Does that mean the virus can still work even though it was "deleted"?

Chances are that he's extremely underexaggerating when he's telling us "50Mb or so" of porn. Really, sir, how much?
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
It was about 50Mb. It was just 2 files =\. Either way.Neither of my IDE channels are in PIO mode, both my IDE channels are in DMA mode at Ultra DMA Mode 2. This is only a recent thing, with no hardware or software changes or anything like that =\. My CPU usage also goes right up when emptying the recycle bin, and on further inverstigation it's my ObjectDock that's using the CPU excessivley while deleting.
[edit] So I created another user account with no objectdock and just basically normal windows and it empties fine, I shifted hundreds of files in a few seconds. Something up with my ObjectDock I'll try reinstalling that mofo or something.. Most amazing jew boots

If you'd rather not deal with the Recycle Bin, Pressing Shift+Delete will let you remove the files right away as oppsed to delaying their inevitable doom. I use it all the time, unless I'm unsure if I want to delete the file.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
