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.
