Permanently deleting music folders

I recieved 50G of music from my friend and saved it to my hard drive with the
intent of deleting everything I didn't want. The problem I'm having is just
that. When I select delete from WMP and computer, it continues to the popup
that says its calculating the time required, but that is it. It just hangs
out with the green time bar running left to right at a speed of "0 bytes/sec."

I can easily delete my entire library from media player(which I did to see
if it made any difference), and create new folders (which I tried to move
everything I wanted to delete, in hopes of deleting that folder later), but I
can't delete or move any of the folders from the computer.

Anybody ever heard of this?
