When im working on a large image (5m x 2m) layers just wont merge. the grey circles go round and then nothing happens, nothing is merged. Its only on large files, why is this a problem ive never had before? I updated photoshop to the latest version and still the same. Its incredibly frustrating, i cant have all these stray layers. 

Correct answer Meeko2206

incase anyone else is habing this problem, i found aold thread that had the same issue, and 'deleting the cropped pixels' worked i can now merge. Which still isnt ideal but sure this hasnt always been the case
