How to speed up delete file?

[qwas368]

Question
I have a schedule job to delete a lot of old log files (700,000+ per day) in many folders. My fastcopy setting is default and only one filter (below). But performance is not good. How to speed up delete file by any setting?

Does the speed change when you use other tools?

I benchmark windows cmd 'del /f/s/q' and del command is better than fastcopy.

Did you use Low I/O prioirty?

I don't change any Fastcopy or windows system setting . It's seems like fcp.exe behavior, right ?

[shirouzu]

Hum...fcp settings depends on fastcopy.ini
This checkbox is off?

My FastCopy.exe and fcp.exe is in same folder :(

Hmmm, I am not sure.
Anyway, in my environment, fcp /cmd=delete is faster than the del command.
But in your environment, it seems to be better to use the del command.

By the way, the I/O priority of fcp.exe's parent process (cmd.exe?) is low?
It is possible that the priority is inherited.

Windows Task Scheduler use Low Priority to launches process, it will overwirte fastcopy setting. Stackoverflow link
