For months I have been suffering from long delays when I delete a file from solution explorer in Visual Studio.
Minutes… slow, dreadful minutes.
I thought it was Resharper’s fault or VisualSVN’s but nay. It’s because I have a large recycle bin, which is fully scanned every time you delete a file. After I emptied the recycle bin files deleted much faster.

Matt… you ae a genius! Thanks for that tip! This issue was driving me nuts!!! The world is beautiful again!!! =)
Great tip Matt! Works great.
Thanks Matt, I was wondering if it was my virtual machine, but you made the solution to my problem so much easier. Keep it up!
Thank You!
And Thank You Google.
Thanks mate, you have won one Internet! This issue was driving me crazy!
Another satisfied customer here. Emptying the recycle bin saved me a lot of coffee breaks while waiting for file deletes.
you are a god
It’s funny how caught up we get in projects and forget the little maintenance details like emptying the recycling bin. This tip is much appreciated and hopefully will spawn some better practices on my machine.
Thanks for that! Like others, this issue was driving me mad.
Emptying 10GB from my Recycle bin and turning off R# made little difference to the file deletion delays in VS2010, so I manually hacked out the files by editing the .csproj file. Instant relief – everything is runs much faster now.
I always forget what it is you said fixed it, for some reason, so I come back to this page once every three months or so.
Thankyou! I’m so glad I found this page!
