Folder increasing explorer.exe cpu usage

Hey guys,

I'm having a problem that when I open my Music Folder it makes my explorer.exe CPU usage go to 25% and only reseting my PC solves the problem. No other folder makes my PC behave like this.

The music folder is quite big... It has a lot of files and uses lot of space.

I tried to google the problem and found some tips to try solving this, but none helped me.

What I already did:

- Divided the music files into sub folders (Didn't help)
- Chkdsk to try finding an error (No errors found)

The music folder is inside a brand new HD - Seagate ST 1000 DM003 - 1TB

So I'm here trying to find some light to my problem
Anybody can help me?

Ps.: I've uploaded two screenshots, one is what happens when I open the music folder, it never ends the "refreshing".

Good chance one of the files, music is badly formed when Explorer is attempting to read it for its various data or just so many...who knows.

Now that you've mentioned, I have one music file which I can't delete, and he is kinda new to the folder...
You know how I can force a deletion?

Do you have this connected in with your libraries?

Yes, I do.

I'll attach a screenshot....

This is what shows to me, and it doesn't change....

Translating: Preparing for recycling...

Okay, I did it!
Used an app of my smartphone to access my music folder and deleted the file...

Good lord.... Who'd have thought of that? hahah

Good. Any change?
