I am trying to delete some music in the library but explorer just freezes up and takes up 90% of my cpu while doing this

and the files never get deleted
after I end explorer from the task manager, dllhost.exe takes up 25% of my cpu also
even just opening the music library takes up a lot of cpu and I was wondering what this was and how can I delete these files
