It took about 40 minutes to transfer a 90GB folder from my desktop to my external HDD. Why does it take over 3 hours to delete that same 90GB folder from my desktop? I understand that the file ops are different but I still don't see why one would take so much more time than the other to complete.

Huh? My HDD has a 2TB capacity. It's nowhere near full. – RǢF Jan 27 '15 at 06:50
