But this method consumes a huge amount of memory (up to 4 GB and

recursively that does not consume a lot of memory?
DirEntry is a struct. First of all I would try this:
```D
foreach(ref entry; dirEntries(path, SpanMode.shallow, false))
```
Does your directory just contain large amount of files?
Yes. I forgot to add it in the original post.
Does using `ref` changed anything?
Try following:
```
import std;
void DirIteration(ref DirEntry dir) {
try {
foreach(ref entry; dirEntries(dir, SpanMode.shallow, false)) {
//SpanMode.shallow allows skip directories if any error happens
if (entry.isFile && !entry.isSymlink)
writeln(entry); //Or something instead of this
if (entry.isDir)
DirIteration(entry);
}
}
catch (Throwable) {}
}
void main()
{
auto de = DirEntry(".");
DirIteration(de);
}
```
