3 GB csv file is not loading

I have a csv file which 3GB. I simply I lead it to PowerBI desktop, opened it and click on one of the columns and do the "remove the errors" and then closed and applied. 

 

It took more than 4 hours to be loaded. 

it is normal? Am I doing something wrong?

It's not unusual for huge files like that to take multiple hours to load in as imports.  A lot of that depends on the CPU of the machine you're using.  

 

You may want to consider another method of accessing the data, like DirectQuery if it's possible to load the data in to a SQL database.
