I did try Midders' suggestions of de-activating the recycle bin. That seems to be a good work around. I can now delete files at a normal speed but I still get the same problem if I try to open the recycle bin. It seems the problem is with the recycle bin. Joined Jul 28, Messages 2, Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it and answer yes to the import prompt. Oops, disabling the recycle bin did't fix the problem, I thought it had but no, it still takes an unusually long time to delete a file, even a small one.
Thanks Tufenuf, I downloaded the file and ran it, it said it added into to the registry, I rebooted, the problem is persisting. Any other ideas? Anita, You could also run a Chkdsk. Follow the instructions under "How to run Chkdsk - Graphical interface" at the link below. I now understand that my problem was that I had a huge number of large files in the recycling bin. Once I was able to delete them the problem disappeared and I've been error free for a few weeks now.
Thanks for all the help and I hope my experience can help someone else. As Seen On. Welcome to Tech Support Guy! Latest posts A. Hi, I have printer connected throug a usb port, on windows xp sp3.

It hovered around 9. I transfered 6 Gig of files from a XP computer to win 7 computer. I did not think much about it, till I read your post.
I got to send some files back to the same computer in a few , but I going to reboot into Win XP on this computer and see if the transfer is the same. I'll send 6 gig back to see the transfer rate in winxp Bye for now i'll edit this post to continue. Tuesday, January 5, PM. Same problem here, 90 hours plus estimate to transfer a few gigs worth of pictures, on a fresh install of windows 7, had a ton of issues keeping the internet connection going, and the computer in general is painfully slow, after installing 7, I'm almost ready to go MAC.
Wednesday, January 6, PM. I'm having a similar problem from multiple Windows 7 computers when accessing sharepoint via UNC path. It's extremely slow to open and completely display any folder from sharepoint via UNC path or mapped drive , even though the same folder opens very quickly under XP And the XP instancees are guests on the same windows 7 boxes that are having problems.
Makes no difference whether the clients are bit or bit. Have found no solutions so far. Thursday, January 7, AM. My Windows 7 professional 64 bit system has caused several issues for me which may be related.
I have two external drives - a relatively old Gb freecom and a 6 month old 1Tb Seagate - both of which worked fine with old Vista Home setup.
A week or so before Christmas the Seagate kept 'disappearing' it would be visible in Computer Management where it appeared to be 'running normally' but when i tried to access the drive I would get messages saying the item was 'no longer in that location'. Cut a long story short - including reformatting the Seagate several times - we fiddled around until it worked fine on my son in laws system Windows 7 32 bit Home - brought it back and it worked fine on mine for a few minutes - then began the same behaviour again.
So I kind of gave up and planned to return it under warranty and rely on the old Freecom box in the meantime - just cutting back on the number of files backed up. Today the Freecom has started to do the same. I copied a bunch of photos from my son's wedding with no problem, then when I tried to copier a slightly larger folder across MB I get the same message 'The item is no longer in this location'.
Except it is. I can open it in Computer and open the files that did copy about half the folder. I thought it might be a size issue so tried copying across in smaller sections - drag and drop worked once for four files then the same problem - reboot and all is well again - then copy and paste for four more files worked okay once then the same again!
I did explore and for some reason the system was looking to read from or write to a different drive letter to teh one it had allocated to the external drive. It appears as F: but when it failed it was looking for O: I'm stumped and frustrated Close to reformatting but having only just got up and running after the 'upgrade' from Vista I'm not sure I can face it.
I'm no techie and would really appreciate some suggestions if anyone has any ideas or has heard of othe rinstances where Windows seems to change drive letter allocation mid-session. Sunday, January 10, PM. I'll add my two cents worth as to say I'm likewise seeing a wholly unacceptable as in unusable slowdown in Windows 7 Pro bit desktop and Windows 7 Premium bit netbook when The problem is uniquely with video files but I have not explored it any further to isolate the problem to a particular video format, i.
Basically, the moment I browse to said folder, Windows Explorer seems to just lock up and my only solution at the moment is to kill all explorer.
Originally the problem seemed to manifest itself as the data collection process indicated by the green "progress" if one can call it progress bar crawling across the address window but never quite finishing. I've waited as much as minutes for completion, when of course anything more than even seconds should be deemed unacceptable.
I've not been using Windows 7 for all that long, but I'm virtually certain I've done some video file management on USB drives without such problems before. This leaves me to question is there has been some Windows 7 update that has introduced this problem. File mangement via the command prompt is no problem at all, so I find it inexcusable that there is any delay with Windows Explorer when performing identical operations.
I hate to think I've wasted money on two versions of Windows 7, but with this problem being as signficant as it is, I'm questioning if I should return to using Vista 64 Ultimate, where I had no problems of this nature except during the pre-SP1 phase.
With the initial release of Vista, there was a similar problem with very slow Windows Explorer performance and I wonder if Microsoft has let some bad code get reintroduced in some recent Windows 7 change. Problems of this nature simply should not occur And I say that speaking from professional experience as a software test engineer. Monday, January 11, AM. Same issue here, and I am using the 32 bit version. It seems if that if a single video file doesn't comply with Windows metadata standards whatever they may be , it pretty much kills the indexing process, the drive, and Explorer.
Which is an absolute pain for me when transcoding video files from one format to another, because a file which is a result of a failed conversion would crash the Explorer the moment I tried to delete. Hi all I stumbled across a critical update on the HP site released silently last month relating to a Microsoft Host Controller update. Not quick but at least it seems to be doing what I need. Sorry if this isn't a solution for you, but after the upgrade Windows 7 now feels like the asset I hoped it would be when I bought it, and not the lame duck it was becoming.
Tuesday, January 12, PM. I was getting the "preparing to recycle" message when trying to delete media files.
After installing KB it fixed the problem. Thursday, January 21, PM. Just developed a similar problem here Windows 7 Pro : User had MB file that needed to be deleted from the C: drive. When you press Delete it would hang at a window saying "Discovering The file is a. Tried dropping to Administrator command prompt, and deleting from a command window, but it would lock up. Did a full chkdisk, found a few things but once back in Windows 7 still could not delete.
Also tried from safe mode, no luck there either. I have also disabled Windows Search thinking maybe it was due to that but also still cannot delete. In our case there are no USB devices connected, nor any external drives of any kind. Monday, January 25, PM. I did a bing search for "Revit files deleting. This is also a little off subject of this thread. Sunday, January 31, AM. I have the same problem. It doesn't not matter how large the file is.
Sometimes Win 7 just gets in a tizzy and refuses to do anything with the file. Best I have figured out is to reboot, drop to a PowerShell prompt with Admin Privs, and delete the file from there. Wednesday, March 3, AM. Same here on windows 7 and windows server r2.
It's the kind of thing that makes me want to throw the computer out the window. I cannot stand it. The worst thin is: it doesn't make any sense, there's no reason why it should do that. And regarding the suggestion that someone made to delete the file form the command line: seriously, what year is it? Should it be that hard to delete or move a file? It's not RedHat 5 is it? Friday, March 5, AM.
Found and posted a solution, at least for. Sunday, March 7, AM. Tuesday, March 30, PM. I too have the same problems. Absolutely ridiculous. Thursday, May 20, AM. I have this problem and partly solved it, at least, by disabling the Preview Pane in explorer. Friday, July 16, AM. Sunday, July 18, PM. Here is a possible fix Slow Cut Copy and Paste Go to Control panel System and Maintenance Administrative tools Run services shortcut Once the services program loads find the services called Background intelligent transfer service and stop it also right click on the same service and click properties then change the start value to manual or disabled this should also fix the network problem and USB copy and paste problem.
I am not quite sure if this will work on windows 7. I am running vista but some of the system is similar. Wednesday, July 28, AM. Proposed as answer by ambitvision Saturday, May 26, AM. Friday, August 6, PM. I have windows 7 Ultimate and need to have some procedure to engage these fixes. Thanks to anyone. Sunday, August 22, PM. Thanks, Richard Blibit RBlibit. Monday, August 30, PM.

I like to add my two cents. I too have a problem with Windows 7 deleting media files from an external USB drive. Status This thread has been Locked and is not open to further replies.

In Windows when you delete something it does so right away. Does anyone know what causes this and if it can be sped up? Has anyone seen this or am I the only one? Joined Oct 10, Messages Many things it could be. Let's narrow things down a bit: 1 I assume that you're seeing these slowdowns on XP Is it XP Home or Pro?
