It woudln't help. I'm dealing with over a million files and
you'd need those files too.
But basically all I have done is created a new rename function:
void removeFile(string fn)
{
if (!isDir(fn))
{
// remove(fn)
setAttributes(fn, 0x80);
auto ls = executeShell(`del /F /Q "`~fn~`"`);
if (ls.status != 0) throw new Exception("Cannot delete file
`"~fn~"`!");
}
}
And this works and functions appropriately.
The other code is basically just recursively going through the
directory as standard practice using dirEntries and deleting
certain files(it's a little more complex since there is some
logic on the file name, but nothing touches the file except
delete).
Went ahead and did the following in case anyone comes across your
issue in the future:

That way the documentation will at least be clear about it.
