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.

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.

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.

Another satisfied customer here. Emptying the recycle bin saved me a lot of coffee breaks while waiting for file deletes.
