deleting files rule
I've been deleting old backups for hours and it takes way too long. But I guess that's what you get with 196,000 "parts/components/files" that have to be removed...
Anyone know why it'd take this long to simply delete files?

Depending on how the OS deletes things. It could be that it overwrites the file with zeroes which can take long on large files. Some just mark files for deletion as soon as another file needs that space
Every time I've had the misfortune of using MacOS file handling was the shittiest part.
Open a terminal and use rm?
