I'm having to migrate all of my files to a new stablebit drive due to Google Drive corruption. Based on how long it is going to take to download then upload everything I'm trying to do some housekeeping to delete some content that I can live without. However, it is taking HOURS to delete folders. I started just using Windows explorer to delete and when it ran for 24 hours I killed the GUI session and dropped to the command line. I started with rmdir /S and have now moved to DEL /F/Q/S J:\[foldername]>nul followed by the rmdir/S to try to improve the time. I can't see that it is making a difference. Am I missing something, or is this expected behavior? I wouldn't think there would be a large download from the cloud provider just to delete the files/folders.
