But that file still there after some seconds. I tried to delete it again but only got a pop-up window saying Item Not Found. Could not find this item. After a while, that file disappeared from the location. It was so strange. Then, I tried other operations like copying a file to another location or transfer it to another folder.
All processes were very slow. To solve this issue, I searched for slow file transfer Windows 10 using Google and found that many users were bothered by it or some similar issues like preparing to delete takes forever, slow USB transfer speed , etc. I found many solutions. Fortunately, my issue was very simple. It was solved after I restarted my computer. Why Rebooting a Computer Fixes Problems?
I have run into this particular behavior. The delay stems from Windows Explorer spending time generating media thumbnail previews in the background. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to a folder of media where no thumbnails have been generated yet. Try to delete a file.
Watch as Windows takes 30 seconds to several minutes to "discover items" before prompting you to confirm deletion. During this process, notice how Task Manager shows high or maximum CPU usage dedicated to Windows explorer and a dllhost child process.
Allow Windows to finish it's thumbnailing process so the CPU settles to idle. After that, try to delete a media file again. Notice how the delete confirmation dialog appears immediately this time. This was an issue all the way back in Windows 98 for image files.
Looks like Microsoft let this particular bug regress its way back in. Way to go, guys! Sunday, August 23, AM. Compromise 0. Consider configuring symbols in Process Explorer and checking the stacks of the threads of the referenced processes, that are consuming the most CPU - perhaps, a third-party module will show itself as being involved. Sunday, August 23, PM. I had only one file on my desktop, a 2.
It takes 10 mn before the deletion complete displayed message : "calculating time remaining Such a problem have already been mentioned for Vista. I would prefer an instant deletion than knowing the time it will take for that action it is a matter of common sense Sunday, September 13, PM.
Have you tried deleting the file from a CMD prompt? What was the outcome? Monday, September 14, AM. I'm having the same problem except is is extremely slow with everything. I have a NAS server and I tried to move 2 gigs from 1 folder to another and it was taking over 4 hrs. I went to my XP box and moved the exact same data and it took less then 2 min.
I had no media files in this group at all. All drivers are up to date, no unusual services etc. Everything else works great and I'm actually quite pleased with Windows 7, but I do a lot of data transfers and this is beginning to sway my opinion of this.
Tuesday, September 15, AM. Windows 7 is extremely slow at those operations. Things that took seconds on Windows XP take at least minutes, sometimes hours on Windows 7. Monday, November 23, AM. I am having the same issue when I am a large files. AVI to a network share. Does anyone know of a patch or a work around? Monday, November 30, AM. Same issue here. Media files only, locally stored no NAS involved , small or large - doesn't matter.
Tuesday, December 1, AM. Has anyone found a solution? Tuesday, December 15, AM. For me it was a malfunctioning hard drive. Windows 7 is extremely sensitive to data errors, even if they occur on disks which are not being accessed. So if you have 2 hard drives, especially if you use a mobile rack or if it's an external hard drive, and one of them has some errors on it for example, messed up files on a hard drive you use to store multimedia - check disk might not even notice these errors , then the indexing process that Win 7 would be running in the background would crash and cause the Explorer to become infinitely slow.
The only solution I could find was to reformat the faulty disk. However, if you do that, make sure you don't copy the messed-up files to another location, because when Indexing reaches them again you will have the same issue all over again.
Alternatively, turn indexing off. I am having the same problem with Vista. I just killed a delete from a network drive that lasted all day and looked like it was just over halfway done when I came in tonight. About 10, files and less than 2 GB of data. Looks like I may just have to live with lost storage. Tuesday, January 5, AM. Running winbit enterprise. It hovered around 9. I transfered 6 Gig of files from a XP computer to win 7 computer.
I did not think much about it, till I read your post. I got to send some files back to the same computer in a few , but I going to reboot into Win XP on this computer and see if the transfer is the same. I'll send 6 gig back to see the transfer rate in winxp Bye for now i'll edit this post to continue. Tuesday, January 5, PM. Same problem here, 90 hours plus estimate to transfer a few gigs worth of pictures, on a fresh install of windows 7, had a ton of issues keeping the internet connection going, and the computer in general is painfully slow, after installing 7, I'm almost ready to go MAC.
Wednesday, January 6, PM. I'm having a similar problem from multiple Windows 7 computers when accessing sharepoint via UNC path. It's extremely slow to open and completely display any folder from sharepoint via UNC path or mapped drive , even though the same folder opens very quickly under XP And the XP instancees are guests on the same windows 7 boxes that are having problems. Makes no difference whether the clients are bit or bit. Have found no solutions so far.
Thursday, January 7, AM. My Windows 7 professional 64 bit system has caused several issues for me which may be related. I have two external drives - a relatively old Gb freecom and a 6 month old 1Tb Seagate - both of which worked fine with old Vista Home setup.
A week or so before Christmas the Seagate kept 'disappearing' it would be visible in Computer Management where it appeared to be 'running normally' but when i tried to access the drive I would get messages saying the item was 'no longer in that location'. Cut a long story short - including reformatting the Seagate several times - we fiddled around until it worked fine on my son in laws system Windows 7 32 bit Home - brought it back and it worked fine on mine for a few minutes - then began the same behaviour again.
So I kind of gave up and planned to return it under warranty and rely on the old Freecom box in the meantime - just cutting back on the number of files backed up.
Today the Freecom has started to do the same. I copied a bunch of photos from my son's wedding with no problem, then when I tried to copier a slightly larger folder across MB I get the same message 'The item is no longer in this location'.
Except it is. I can open it in Computer and open the files that did copy about half the folder. I thought it might be a size issue so tried copying across in smaller sections - drag and drop worked once for four files then the same problem - reboot and all is well again - then copy and paste for four more files worked okay once then the same again!
I did explore and for some reason the system was looking to read from or write to a different drive letter to teh one it had allocated to the external drive. It appears as F: but when it failed it was looking for O: I'm stumped and frustrated Close to reformatting but having only just got up and running after the 'upgrade' from Vista I'm not sure I can face it. I'm no techie and would really appreciate some suggestions if anyone has any ideas or has heard of othe rinstances where Windows seems to change drive letter allocation mid-session.
Sunday, January 10, PM. I'll add my two cents worth as to say I'm likewise seeing a wholly unacceptable as in unusable slowdown in Windows 7 Pro bit desktop and Windows 7 Premium bit netbook when The problem is uniquely with video files but I have not explored it any further to isolate the problem to a particular video format, i. Basically, the moment I browse to said folder, Windows Explorer seems to just lock up and my only solution at the moment is to kill all explorer.
Originally the problem seemed to manifest itself as the data collection process indicated by the green "progress" if one can call it progress bar crawling across the address window but never quite finishing. I've waited as much as minutes for completion, when of course anything more than even seconds should be deemed unacceptable. I've not been using Windows 7 for all that long, but I'm virtually certain I've done some video file management on USB drives without such problems before.
This leaves me to question is there has been some Windows 7 update that has introduced this problem. File mangement via the command prompt is no problem at all, so I find it inexcusable that there is any delay with Windows Explorer when performing identical operations. I hate to think I've wasted money on two versions of Windows 7, but with this problem being as signficant as it is, I'm questioning if I should return to using Vista 64 Ultimate, where I had no problems of this nature except during the pre-SP1 phase.
With the initial release of Vista, there was a similar problem with very slow Windows Explorer performance and I wonder if Microsoft has let some bad code get reintroduced in some recent Windows 7 change. Problems of this nature simply should not occur And I say that speaking from professional experience as a software test engineer.
Monday, January 11, AM. Same issue here, and I am using the 32 bit version. It seems if that if a single video file doesn't comply with Windows metadata standards whatever they may be , it pretty much kills the indexing process, the drive, and Explorer. Which is an absolute pain for me when transcoding video files from one format to another, because a file which is a result of a failed conversion would crash the Explorer the moment I tried to delete.
Hi all I stumbled across a critical update on the HP site released silently last month relating to a Microsoft Host Controller update. Not quick but at least it seems to be doing what I need. Sorry if this isn't a solution for you, but after the upgrade Windows 7 now feels like the asset I hoped it would be when I bought it, and not the lame duck it was becoming.
Tuesday, January 12, PM. I was getting the "preparing to recycle" message when trying to delete media files. After installing KB it fixed the problem. Thursday, January 21, PM. Just developed a similar problem here Windows 7 Pro : User had MB file that needed to be deleted from the C: drive.
When you press Delete it would hang at a window saying "Discovering The file is a. Tried dropping to Administrator command prompt, and deleting from a command window, but it would lock up.
Did a full chkdisk, found a few things but once back in Windows 7 still could not delete. Also tried from safe mode, no luck there either. I have also disabled Windows Search thinking maybe it was due to that but also still cannot delete. In our case there are no USB devices connected, nor any external drives of any kind. Monday, January 25, PM. I did a bing search for "Revit files deleting. This is also a little off subject of this thread. Sunday, January 31, AM. I have the same problem.
It doesn't not matter how large the file is. Sometimes Win 7 just gets in a tizzy and refuses to do anything with the file. Best I have figured out is to reboot, drop to a PowerShell prompt with Admin Privs, and delete the file from there. Wednesday, March 3, AM. Same here on windows 7 and windows server r2. It's the kind of thing that makes me want to throw the computer out the window. I cannot stand it. The worst thin is: it doesn't make any sense, there's no reason why it should do that.
And regarding the suggestion that someone made to delete the file form the command line: seriously, what year is it?
Should it be that hard to delete or move a file? It's not RedHat 5 is it? Friday, March 5, AM. Found and posted a solution, at least for. Sunday, March 7, AM. Tuesday, March 30, PM. I too have the same problems. Then, you can check whether the issue still occurs. This step can help you determine whether the problem is caused by the DFS path.
If it is still slow when you use the UNC path, see slow performance when you copy a single file, a folder, or multiple files. If the issue is still not resolved, see server side troubleshooting. If you compare the copying time for a folder that contains multiple files with the copying time for a file of the same size, copying the folder will always require more time. This behavior is expected. The more files that are in the folder, the slower the file-copying process.
Delete the third-part network provider from client computer. The default options are as follows. Any other provider can be considered as a third party. Remove additional values from the following registry keys.
