Freeze on file delete

[dako98]

Issue Type: Bug

Try to delete any file from the file explorer. The UI freezes and then offers to reopen. After reopening the file is still there. After some time (maybe a minute) the file is finally removed. Removing the file from outside VS Code is possible and is immediately reflected in the VS Code UI (deleting the file from outside removes the file from VS Code too)

Does this reproduce if you run with all extensions disabled?

[dako98]

Yes.

It took about 5 seconds to delete the first file, but after that the deletions took less than a second.
The window no longer freezes or asks to reopen.

fyi Robo (@deepak1556) might there be some known Electron freeze on file IO operations?

Dako Dimov (@dako98) Clément P (@yukulele) How is the deletion performance when you have "files.enableTrash": false setting ?

Isidor Nikolic (@isidorn) this might be the old issue with blocking call from shell.moveItemToTrash #43508

[isidorn]

Robo (@deepak1556) Yes, sounds like that one. Thanks for jumping in.
