Slow delete files

On my wd live streaming delete files is very  slow ( 40-50 files sometimes -30 min. on hdd 2tb). Is any way to repair this

sorry for my very very bad english

I can confirm the slowness, but not the duration.

For a test, I copied the file http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4 100 times onto a USB-stick (NTFS), total size 525MiB.

Deleting the files took 3 minutes and 36 seconds. A tad too slow for my taste.

So it takes the SMP longer to delete the files than it takes to copy all 100 files onto the stick at the stick’s maximum of ~7MiB/s (~75 seconds).

As a sidenote: You can only delete 100 items in one go. The OS won’t let you mark more than 100 items.
