Deleting Files

I hope someone can help me with this problem. Whenever I attempt to delete any file into the recycle bin the box "Caluclating time remaining" pops up and it just sits there. The only way to close it is through the task manager which then restarts IE. What can I do.
Thanks for any help.

    Run chkdsk on the hard drive
     
     select the Automatically Fix File System Errors check box, and then click Start.
    Say yes to schedule a chkdsk at the next restart, then restart the PC.
