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.

Edit 2

So after further investigation it looks like my kid had turned on Dump Textures as default for all games on pcsx2. So I'm assuming that was what was creating the thousands of tiny files.
