Bug Description

I was using the "Permanently Delete" option in Nautilus to delete a folder which was about 1.7GB in size and the most strange thing happened during the deletion:

    Negative_Amount_Of_Files_Deleted_Per_Second_Nautilus.png

The number kept changing from a huge negative number, to a positive number half the size, but still unrealistic in terms of size and the amount of files actually in the folder which was in the 100,000s, not the 100,000,000s or similar as it often showed. I am running Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20. The deletion appeared successful, but I still thought I should report the odd statistics.
