Sitecore file explorer timeout

Recently I have been trying to fix the issue with Sitecore timing out when opening File Explorer which only happens on the Production environment.

I compared all configuration files, dlls files, sitecore files and etc to no avail. Until i try to delete "Temp_old" folder which i believe a backup of temp folder. The folder is huge and it takes forever to delete. That's when I realized that perhaps that's the folder that Sitecore has been waiting to load through File Explorer however because it took forever, it timed out. I then moved this folder away from webroot and voila it works!

As general rules of thumb, backup should have been done away from Webroot.

Anyway I am very glad that it finally resolved!
