    FILE EXPLORER SLOWING DOWN TO A HALT AFTER DELETING A LARGE AMOUNT OF FILES


    Yesterday I deleted a large amount of small files, mainly images and a couple games. Since then, File Explorer started having issues of slowing down to a halt and restarting itself. As a momentary fix I just go into Task Manager, restart File Explorer and the issue goes away momentarily.I have already run a Sfc/ scannow to fix any corrupted files which it did succesfuly and the problem persist. I have also checked for viruses and run a device scan via the My ASUS app and in both cases no issues have popped up. I have also cleared the device cache. I have windows updates up to date and all my

    Windows Explorer crashing due to large files

    It's an .exe right? Explorer probably read its icon (to a cache) when it was a "small" file and now call the quits when it finds "such a big" file.

    If you want to delete it, use the console after killing explorer, you can run the console from TaskManager (Application -> New Task -> cmd). You might want to try copy the file to a different location (copy, not cut) and see if explorer can handle it in the new location before deleting it.

    Windows Explorer crashing due to large files

    So I downloaded project reality a mob for BF2 I used uTorrent to download the file and it check to make sure it wasnt corrupt.

    Everytime I try to do anything with the file windows explorer hangs and I have to restart it.

    This is the same for the old version of project reality. I cannot delete it.

    I have never had this happen.

    The files in question are 1.8 GB
