Your dismissive tone implies you think I’m lying or something about my stated (and reproduceable) experience that deletions absolutely run a 1/3rd slower with certain software installed.
You gave an example of a third party program (TortoiseGit) slowing down deletion and implied Defender would also make it slower.
Im saying I have Win10 with everything ripped out, no defender, no logging, no tracelogging, no telemetry, zero filesystem filters/hooks. Delete speed is in the same ballpark as on freshly installed system.
nah, its equally slow on system with everything ripped out (defender, filters, even logging).
