I work with tens of thousands 20 kB JPEG files in batches which add up to gigabytes. Quand je try to delete an old batch, Windows 10 has a very low delete rate which sometimes even drops to zero pour une raison quelconque:
Is this just a fact of life for the hardware I'm on, or is there some tips and tricks I could try to speed up this deletion ?
Windows 10 supprimers lots of tiny fichiers super lently. 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 vous pouvez 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
```
