I agree it is very long, however he said "much less than 30 seconds". Depends how long is
"much less than 30 sec".

In my case, it may take about 5 sec, which may be considered much less than 30, but is still
quite long for such a simple operation.
I certainly haven't timed it, but it's on the order or a second or two for deleting a single file -- not a problem! The point was that I cannot blame Norton for a delay to delete a file (or move it to the protected recycle bin). I've been using Norton since DOS days and have had very few problems with it. Peter Norton used to live a couple blocks from me!
