Files slow to delete
- Thread starter cool9

What kind of files? Are they large files or small files? Are you deleting a lot all at once or just a few at a time? What exactly is "slow"? How full is your HDD? Need a bit more info.
You can try running a chkdsk on your HDD if you want:
Start -> type 'cmd' (without quotes) -> right click -> run as admin -> in the console window that pops up type:
chkdsk C: /f /r
Press Enter and it will say it cannot lock the current drive and to run on next reboot. Type Y and hit Enter -> Reboot your computer and let it run through the check (it may take some time, depending on how big your HDD is).

If you're absolutely certain you want to delete them use shift + delete and it permanently deletes the files rather than moving them to the recycling bin
