Hi
I was making maintenance in my desktop. I empty all the files in My Documents folders that I save in a disk. now I put a file in the receiving files folder , then I forgot how much kb the file had. so I right click the receiving file folder and the pop up said the file is 359MB. and when I check the file it said is only 345kb. I doble check and stay the same, then I try the other folders and they all have a lot of MB. and they are empty. now my computer is slower than a snail, its took a lot to open a program and when I try to save in the folders, its getting the MB higher no matter they are empty. could someone tell me how I can delete the "invisible MB files" from the empty folders. they are the folders in My Documents.
thanks a lot for any help.

try to delete from safe mode, if it would help, install far manager and delete folder from there, i think it wouldn't a problem.

Open a folder, click tools, folder options, view, untick hide protected system files, click apply, close and re-open the folder

If they were images it could be thumbs, so you could also tick do not cache thumbnails, click apply
