Windows 11 File Explorer Update Boosts Speed for Deleting Large Files
Microsoft has released an update for Windows 11's File Explorer, significantly improving the speed of deleting large, fragmented files. The update, part of the Windows 11 Insider Experimental Preview Build 26300.8935, addresses a long-standing issue where deleting large files was slow due to fragmentation. The update promises a 30% increase in deletion speed under certain conditions, particularly on drives nearing full capacity. This improvement is part of a broader effort to enhance File Explorer's performance, including faster launches and less flicker.
