A few days ago I was copying some files to and from my portable drives. The progress bar sat frozen at a few instances, and I had to hit "cancel". Eventually I got my files to all copy to where I wanted them, but now I can't delete the folders and files that are still on my desktop.
I'm using a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista Basic.
I tried to delete the folders and files, and it ran progress bars for over 12 hours that just flashed the blue bars across really fast while reading "Recycling 1 item (0 bytes)".
When I finally give up and hit "cancel", it flashes to "Recycling 24 items (251mb)" for a second as it is closing. But it just won't seem to delete these.
I also tried to empty the recycle bin, which now has 1.83gb of photo/video files to delete, but the "Calculating Time Remaining" bar just seems to flash on endlessly.
Does anyone know what's wrong with it?
