Deleting datasets in Catalog pane is very slow

Hi all,

I'm working with a user who has been running into a strange issue.  Attempting to delete anything from the Catalog panel causes Pro to hang for 30+ seconds.  So far we've tested this on:

  • FGDB Feature Classes
  • FGDB Tables
  • FGDBs
  • MGDB Feature Classes
  • MGDBs
  • Shapefiles

Other operations on the machine take the expected amount of time, it's just deletion that seems ridiculously slow.  We have some Python scripts that generate numerous intermediate datasets then clean them up; this issue means a process that usually takes a couple minutes is taking close to an hour.  As soon as I comment out the Delete() calls on that machine, the process runs in the time expected.

Has anyone come across this?  It's a fairly new machine, I don't think there's any unusual software installed, but I don't have physical access to the machine.  I can ask the user to check Task Manager if there's a notorious culprit for this type of thing.

They're using Pro 3.1 in case that's relevant.  Thanks!
