[QUOTE="Tejicano, post: 1327631, member: 224000"] I have a seagate free agent goflex drive that is 2TB and I am having major issues trying to delete files off of it. I have tons of music that I'm trying to consolidate and there are three folders that I'm trying to delete. When I put them in the trash and click on "empty"...they start to delete and right around the 6,000th file I get the gray screen of death and am forced to restart. When I go and check the external drive, nothing has been removed yet. I have about 80GB of duplicated music that I'm trying to get rid of and dont know how to locate the corrupted file if there is one. I'm just trying to do a forced delete of these massive folders! Any suggestions?? I started to delete about 20 sub folders at a time but now the trash shows all of those files stuck in the trash taking up "zero kb." My trash is looking like a nightmare [/QUOTE]
