[platform-core-dev] Fwd: Project Deletion takes long time

[Vishal Gupta <vishal.vit@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I have a Project with a 5GB of source files.

When I tries to delete the project from workspace(without deleting it from file system), then also it's takes a long time of around 2 minutes.

When i tried to investigate, i found that before deleting the Project all the content under the 

<workspace location>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/<project name>/.indexes/....

is traversed (Bucket Tree) and all the contents are Read and then the entries are deleted.

This seems like a lot of I/O operation, I am not sure why do we really need to Read the contents(Bucket Entries) .

Could it be good to delete the complete content under 

<workspace location>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/<project name>

without traversing and reading the contents, if we are deleting a Project ?

Thanks,

Vishal
