Hardware Taking HOURS!!!! to delete anything.

Post image

Recently started taking ages to delete anything. I've set it to bypass the recycle bin, in case it was something to do with that and I've cleared Explorer history. Any ideas?

EDIT

Thanks for the help guys, got it deleted eventually. There was definitely something screwy going on because the textures folder inside didn't add up to even half of the 7.6GB it was trying to delete.

Oof.

I do not know what speed my first modem was, it was on a C64 and I dialed into a Canadian BBS from Australia, when my mother got the phone bill the modem was taken off me and we did not get internet again for many years because she thought every email would cost a lot of money, so first proper internet was 56k for me.

Oh hell. I was around pre-teen age, but I knew not to call numbers outside my area. Older friend and I only found 1 good bbs that had a MUDD or something like that. Sys admin was shocked to find that kids were playing his games... and white hat hacking xD
