deleting a folder with many files is very slow
Affected version
- Nightly flatpak: Yes
Steps to reproduce
- delete a folder with many (>10k, 200k in my case) files by Shift+Del
- the "Show operations" menu shows that deletion of the 200k files will take about 3 minutes
Current behavior
Deleting the entire folder takes very long (e.g. 3 minutes for a folder with 200k files). Nautilus seems to delete every file separately.
Expected behavior
Nautilus just be as fast as rm -r <folder>
(which is not more than 2 seconds for a 200k files folder).
