Description

When you try to delete many files using other apps (for example, a script or something), Files stops responding.
If you simply deletes files instead of sending to the recycle bin, Files just stopped refreshing, like this:
I created 1000 noise images using a python script, and this flutter app deletes it directly.

However, if you send files to the recycle bin, Files stops responding:
1000 noise images, the recycle bin was empty before.

For comparing Explorer always responds in time.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. create a lot of files
  2. write a script and delete these files / send these files to the recycle bin
  3. Files stops respoding
