Solved Major issues with my computer.

Ok, I wouldn't say its "major", but I'm having issues with my "downloads" folder. There is a file in it I want to get rid of, but everytime I click on the folder, Windows Explorer goes into "not responding" and freezes. I can't delete the downloads folder, which is problematic, because my antivirus keeps getting stuck trying to scan it.

Any way I can get rid of that stupid folder, or at least the file inside? It's just an exe file, it's about 1.3 gigs.

thanks in advance,

Rukio
