Hey there.

You can disable the thumbnails either permanently or temporarily and the freezing will not happen:

Link Removed

Other than that, you can use the command prompt to delete the folder. Use like this:

del AddressHere

A real world example for demonstration purposes would be:

del C:\Videos\Downloads

TorrtnG thanx for ur concern
but i can't figure out the actual problem. i tried to delete the folder from command prompt. It delete all the files except two files and i think those are creating problem. This happens with some other folders also.

You can boot to safe mode and use the command prompt to delete the folder successfully, most likely.

Poorly encoded video files cause this issue. It's the video files' fault, correct.

What antivirus are you using? I had trouble with AVG in past on certain file types.
