Pros
Pro Faster file deletion
It deletes files much much faster than built in Windows file manager.
Pro Can check files for copy errors
TeraCopy can automatically check/verify the copied files for errors, by calculating their CRC or other checksum/hash value.

Pro Skips badly copied files
TeraCopy skips badly copied files during the copying process, and then displays them at the end of the transfer "Verify" with checksum/hash, so you can see which files to re-copy. See also, OpenHashTab for Windows and DeadHash for Windows, Linux, Android.
Pro Now free and open source
Continuing forward as Sandboxie-plus while still updating its classic version.
Pro Windows 10/11 Home does not include Sandbox
As that is limited to Pro, this is a great alternative.
Cons
Con Sometimes clashes with 7 zip
From my experience, TeraCopy does not do well in conjunction with 7zips.
It seems to error on some systems when you do a drag-and-drop extract.
Con Windows 10 has Windows Sandbox
Only relevant if using Pro edition of Windows.
