First of all thanks for this amazing tool.

Describe the bug
npkill finds the node_modules, I hit space to delete, it says deleting and takes like 2-3 min per folder.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • Run npkill on macos
  • Total size reported was > 20GB
  • Hit space for few folders

Expected behavior
Delete should be fast

I am aware that sometimes the deletion is too slow, but I don't quite understand why. Maybe the OS does some security check or something.

Does anyone have any ideas?
