A work unit is stuck on 30.009%. The remaining time is decrementing and the elapsed time is incrementing. Should I delete this work unit and any work unit that is stuck/locked up? Am I wasting my processer time waiting it out? Thank you in advance.

If the remaining time is decreasing as the elapsed time increases, then it appears that the Task is being processed, even if the percentage done doesn't reflect that.
I'd let it run until the remaining time gets to zero- or until the remaining time starts to climb. If that occurs, exit & restart BOINC- it may complete & clear the Task, if not then abort it.

A couple of your Tasks did error out- do you have a 3rd party AV programme? If so, i'd white list the BOINC data folders so they are not scanned by the AV programme. It's the only thing i can thing of that would cause that file access timeout error (unless BOINC is installed on a HDD that is being flogged).

And your completed Tasks show a fair difference between their Run time & CPU time, which indicates the system is over committed. I'd look at Task Manager to see what processes are using up so much CPU time.
