Windows 10: Problem with moving/deleting files.

Hi guys,

I've noticed that I have a problem with moving/deleting files and creating folder, the update speed it's not instantly.

Let say I try to move one file from one location to another new location, I'll have to click the refresh icon of the file explorer, only then the moved file will appear on the new location. The same thing happened when I tried to delete something or when I tried to create a new folder.

This only happened on my desktop at work, my laptop at home doesn't have this kind of problem.

Any idea, what might be the causes for this? And how do I solve it.

Error: This Process Cannot Be Completed The File Is Open In Windows Explorer when deleting/moving a video file

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We appreciate your effort on this. We understand that when you are trying to delete or move some video files, you get an error, we will look into this for you. However, we would like to know if the issue occurs while deleting/moving any other file.



We would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned below and check if that helps:



Method 1: Close all background applications



We would suggest you to check if the file that you are trying to delete/move is open in background. If the file is open, close the file and then try deleting/moving it.



Alternatively, you can press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open
Task Manager and look for the applications that you are not using while deleting/moving the file. Right click on them and select
End Task.



Method 2: Turn off File preview in File Explorer



We can try turning off File preview in File Explorer and check if that helps in resolving the issue. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type control folders and click on
   OK.
   
3. Click on View tab.
   
4. Now, select the checkbox for Always show icons, never thumbnails.
   
5. Click on OK.
   

Method 3: Safe Mode



If Turning off File preview doesn’t help, I would suggest you to boot the computer into Safe Mode and check if you are able to delete/move the file. Refer the steps mentioned in the article

Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10.



Let us know the results.

Outlook PST File Problem

That is exactly what I was going to suggest. Export everything to another PST file, delete the old(or rather move it out of the default folder) and replace it with the new PST file that you exported.
