I have some large 4k files that are about 3gb each. Whenever I try to delete them it makes windows explorer basically unusable. No thumbnails and sidebars don't load. It also gets stuck at "Recycling" window. I also can't right click them. Anyone know what to do?

Holding shift vapourises them instead of sending them to the recycle bin.

You could also use a command prompt.

It still gets stuck with shift and cmd can't find the files.

>cmd can't find the files
drag and drop the file onto the cmd window (with admin privileges, windows + x, press a) then press home and write "delete " before that. you might want to kill explorer.exe in task manager before running the command

actually since its win7 that wont work, but if admin permission is required start cmd in admin mode using the context menu

never seen that happen, it should paste the full filename (escaped quoted path) into the console
is the path to the files too large?
how about running chkdsk during boot?

i've found that windows sometimes gets confused while trying to delete images. i use a graphic shell like acdsee or irfanview to delete pics, and that usually works.

Run a live linux session and delete the files

Personally, I wouldn't trust Linux's reverse-engineered NTFS driver to mount the filesystem read/write, let alone delete 20GB, but each to his own.

Dude, just learn to use DOS. It's time to stop putting it off.

<windows key>-r
cmd.exe
cd \path\to\files
del *.mp4

You don't have to type the path to the files, you can just type the first few letters then press tab.

explorer trying, and failing, to load the preview/thumbnail of the file (which requires codec file loading and video decoding of the first few frames), would be my guess but its hard to determine now
