RMRK is retiring.
Registration is disabled. The site will remain online, but eventually become a read-only archive. More information.

RMRK.net has nothing to do with Blockchains, Cryptocurrency or NFTs. We have been around since the early 2000s, but there is a new group using the RMRK name that deals with those things. We have nothing to do with them.
NFTs are a scam, and if somebody is trying to persuade you to buy or invest in crypto/blockchain/NFT content, please turn them down and save your money. See this video for more information.
Why does this happen?

Unoriginal text here.
Ok, so my external harddrive made a dcm file for every file I backed up, and they're useless. I need to delete all several thousand of them.

When I start deleting some of the dcm files the search results turn up, it starts moving them to the recycle bin. It goes fast at first, but then it starts decreasing. The delete speed goes from a couple megabytes a second, to a couple kilobytes a second. Seriously, my slowest speed yet is 2.32 kilobytes per second. What the hell?

Why does the speed to move files keep decreasing over time? It does the same thing when I click the "Empty" button too. How do I make it speed up again?

Also, when I click "Empty the Recycle Bin", it takes forever to get to the part where it starts deleting things, if I have more than a couple hundred files.

Recycle Bins are for losers. Shift + Del is for winners.
