Deleting a huge folder of several GB can take a lot of time because we might need to move / copy that folder to the trashbin. This gets worse when the huge folder is in an external storage.

While disabling the files_trashbin app can help, we might still want to have the app running most of the time, when we remove small files.

Some proposals:

  • files_trashbin adds a maximum size option, so folders bigger than that size will be rejected by the trashbin, and so they're permanently deleted.
  • somehow add a "permanently delete" action in the files view to bypass the trashbin.
