Above and beyond what was just said to you in this post... Do you have, say,
a virus in your TIF that's been found and located? Some AV programs (anyone
that's any good really) if they're not set to delete anything found will
disallow access to the files and then when deleting the TIF you'll find that
the computer freezes because it's trying to delete the files over and over
again while, at the same time, your AV is not allowing it to access the
files even though it's to delete them safely. The only choice is to disable
monitoring for a short time and delete them if this is, in fact, what's
going on with your system.
