The Amiga should be validating the partition, the disk light should be
on. It could take an hour or more to validate a big partition full of
small files. Just leave it for a while.
If it really doesn't clear itself (your attempts with Quarterback may
have made it impossible), the best bet is to copy all the files to
another partition and reformat. Disksalv takes forever on theses big
partitions.
