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.
