Large document library: Deleted Documents but Settings count is still high

After how long does the settings items reading (see pic below) refresh?

I have a document library with over 100k items (large).

I got an error when trying to break inheritance.  I believe this is due to the size.

I deleted most of the documents/folders.  The doc lib is almost empty but the settings items count is still the same.

 

I still can't perform actions that are prohibited on large lists.

 

After how long does this number get refreshed?

  • Well, if the number of items is still large no matter the folders you delete, you are going to have the problem reported

      Called Microsoft Support.

      They fixed it.   Apparently there was a file that was 'hanging' or 'locked' during the delete process.

       

      Now its ok.
