Recovered files are corrupted and I am unable to delete them

Hi

 

I have recovered some files that I accidentally deleted off my external hard drive, these were recovered to my laptops normal hard disk. But most of them are corrupted, and I am unable to delete them. When I click delete it says "estimating time remaining", I've left it for 7 hours at one point and it just stays stuck there. Then when I clicked cancel it did the same thing, except this time it stuck on "cancelling"

 

To get rid I had to do a CTRL-ALT-DELETE to close it on task manager.

 

Can anyone advise please, I've got a load of dead space on my hard disk otherwise

 

Thanks
