Yes, the Shift key also works for the "delete" choice in the menu.
You move your mouse away from the general area, press Shift,
then open the menu and select Delete. And that should avoid all the
"shifting and calculating", saving about half the time.

I was deleting on the other machine, and we hit a new low today,
only able to delete 300 files a second. When you have 200,000 files
to delete, that is a pretty miserable level of performance. I'd
be better off booting Linux and deleting the files there.

The delete command in Command Prompt, is likely to do better
than that, because no animation is required for that method.
