I'm trying to reorganize a large project into separate folders, and any time I try to move some files, there is an approx 10 second delay per file. The project is source controlled in TFS (I removed the bindings and it's still slow).

Why is VS is so slow at moving files around in a project? Is there anything I can do to move these files faster?

    Try using file monitoring of Process Monitor to see which files are being accessed. If you see a lot of activity reading some silly VS files for indexing (e.g. .opt) or weird metadata, you might just have to remove them. – MK. Sep 11 '13 at 19:46
  • Process Monitor showed the biggest hit as ResolveAssemblyReference.cache with ~160 writes while moving 60 files. Maybe I'll try disabling Intellisense. – Walter Stabosz Sep 11 '13 at 20:09
  • If that file is big, try deleting it. It could have gotten fragmented. – MK. Sep 11 '13 at 22:03
  • I think [ResolveAssemblyReference.cache](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4618950/what-is-resolveassemblyreference-cache) is a temporary file. I only see it in Process Monitor, I don't see if I just search my solution folders. – Walter Stabosz Sep 12 '13 at 14:06
