Windows 10 deletes lots of tiny files super slowly. Can anything be done to speed it up?

From the image it looks like you are deleting the files through
Explorer, which is the slowest method possible.

What you can do to improve:

-
Delete the files using Shift+Del so the
deleted files are not moved to the Recycle Bin
(no recovery possible)

-
Issue the delete from inside a Command prompt using a command
similar to (use `del /?` to see all parameters):

```
del /f /q *.* (del in current folder, add `/s` to traverse sub-folders)
del /f /q /s folder

```
