Problem:
I am using Windows 10. I attempted to cancel a file copy after one file was taking too long to copy, but now I am unable to remove the cancelled item from the list in the copy/move file box. How can I resolve this issue?
Resolution:
To resolve this problem you may try the following suggestions:
- Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), find Windows Explorer, right-click, and select Restart. This forcefully refreshes the file explorer, potentially clearing the stuck item.
- Open an elevated command prompt (Run as administrator).
Type taskkill /f /im explorer.exe to terminate explorer.
Then type explorer.exe to restart it.
- Run SFC and DISM commands in an elevated command prompt to check and repair system files:
sfc /scannowDISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth - Boot into Safe mode and recheck the same. If successful, it suggests a software conflict in normal mode. Then go for a Clean Boot.
- Create New User Account and recheck the issue.
