Empty recycle bin and bad performance
Hi Kinook:
I have 1409 items in my Recycle Bin. I initiated the "Empty Recycle Bin" command. After 40 minutes with the "Please Wait" dialogue displayed, I tried cancelling the operation. The appropriate message appeared, but did not go away even after another 40 minutes. Obviously I could not use URp during that time. URp was running on a dual core machine with 2Gb ram. The database is 353Gb.
I had to kill UR and restart. The program froze and I had to kill it again. I noticed a file with the database name and urd-journal extension and deleted it. UR fired right up and loaded my database with the recycle bin with the 1409 items still there. Emptying the recycle bin failed again and I went through the same steps to re-start the program. By the way, ALL OF MY TOOLBAR CUSTOMIZATIONS WERE LOST!
I tried a database repair and got the error "database disk image is malformed." So I created a new database and copied the items from the "bad" one to the empty one. Guess what? I initiated this process 4 hours and 50 minutes ago and am still waiting. I also cannot leave the computer unattended because the "Switch to" dialogue pops up from time to time. I click the button "switch to" and the dialogue goes away. I assume the copying process resumes until the next box appears.
Can you PLEASE fix these performace issues I am experiencing? Or, am I in such a minority that it is not worth addressing (I will understand if this is the case and will have to use some other program).
Thank you.
Jon
