    Windows Won't Delete Large Files


    Even when using /del in an administrator command prompt, large video files that I use take exorbitantly long times to delete in Windows. It seems very inconsistent of a problem too, with some video files exceeding 80 gigs delete instantly, and others nearing 60 taking actual hours for Windows to scan and delete. It seems to be more of an issue with webcam footage than captured footage.



    It is converted from mkv and mp4 into DNxHD format, and this bloats the file size tremendously. Why won't Windows delete these files efficiently?
