I have a huge backup archive on a secondary hard drive that I'm deleting right now. After hours of progress in the delete dialog windows is now stuck on 99% and is filling up my RAM. Interestingly the disk usage is now coming from my primary hard drive.
Can someone explain what is happening in the deletion process?
Edit:
By killing (and restarting) the explorer.exe I could get the RAM free and the files there actually gone.
