Hi, Iwas just wondering what the best way to delete movies I have burned. I noticed that the file it usually burns to has slowed down quite a bit, but when I copied it to another file name, it was really fast. Any suggestions??? Thanks for your help

highlight the movie iso or folder,
hold down the shift button/ press delete
renaming or moving a large file around on a partition/drive
is very fast, all windows does is keep track of what it's called
and where it is, until you defrag it stays put no matter which folder
you move it to.Comment

when you only have a C drive and have done a few movies and installed and uninstalled programs with these large data files(movies) and especially if you start running low on space, your drive will become badly fragmented.
Finish all work with those movie files, delete them and do a general cleanup.
Uninstall programs not used any more, do disk cleanup, etc. Empty recycling bin. Now you have only left the files you are going to keep.
Defrag
defrag will be it's fastest
Now all your core files are where windows wants them.Comment
