Solved 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".

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.

When you try delete it what is it saying?
When its connected to you Libraries it would use up a bit more also.
