When I delete a file from my local hard drive it takes "forever" to
finish deleting. We're talking on the or of 30 seconds or more for a
simple single file delete sometimes. I can actually click the "cancel"
button in the delete dialog as it is sitting there humming along and
the file will be properly deleted... but completion of the delete is
quite a ways away if I let it run.
When this hang occurs, I can see the hard drive light spinning away.
There's plenty of space (24gb) free on the drive so it's not a space
issue and the machine is not particularly old and slow (1.4ghz laptop,
year old).
Ideas ?
