Question

Bridge 12.0.2 is super slow when deleting files

Since a few weeks my Bridge is super slow when I'm trying to sort out the photo's I've taken. Normally I delete like 200 photo's in preview mode and after exiting the preview it took like 5 seconds to have all the photos deleted. Now it takes up to 10 seconds per photo to be deleted, which is very annoying and it makes it unusable. 

I've seen some of the other posts of people having the same kind of problem and tried to clear up space (I deleted about 100GB on cache files), reinstall both Bridge, PS and Camera RAW, tried to use older versions, I've also tried to restart and update my computer and also did a reset on Bridge and PS but literally nothing seems to work... I really hope someone can help me with this problem

Here are some specifications; Macbook Pro '15 2018. macOS Monterey 12.4 | 2,6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 | 16 GB 2400 MHz DDR4. 500GB flash memory, using a Lacie Rugged 2TB hard drive when working with Bridge. The older versions of Bridge was 11.0, newest is 12.0.2. PS older version was 22.0, newest is 23.4.1. Camera RAW was 11.4.1

Even worse, when it crashes, the deleted files are no longer deleted.  They're back and you have to do the whole culling process again!  One workaround is to label the files instead of deleting them during the cull.  At the end, select all of those you rated as 'delete' and delete them at once.  You shouldn't have to do that, but it is better than trying to cull them multiple times.
