I have a rather annoying issue with my Windows 7 computer whereby it seems to take ages to delete, move or copy folders, even when they are empty. The problem is intermittent, to make matters worse. It just says "Discovering items..." for anything up to a couple of minutes before eventually doing what its told.
Any suggestions on where to look to stop this happening?
I have tried disabling antivirus realtime scanning to rule that out as the root cause.
Answer
I found a huge post with LOT'S of suggestions. It could be related to many things...
First step would be to boot into Safe mode and see if the behavior is still happening. If it isn't you know it isn't Windows related but some kind of system driver (e.g. your antivirus even though you have it disabled).
Other suggestions include thumbnails, file permissions, too many files in a folder, etc... just read through the thread and try some things:
Extremely slow file copying / moving / deleting
