Can't delete files

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

A while back, I needed to restore some lost files and had to restore the
entire image backup of my C: drive to an external drive. I'm through with
that large file and want to delete it from the external drive. However, I
keep getting error messages for some of the files that say "Cannot delete
xxxxxx: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

For example, one case is in M:\Drive(C)\downloads\Intel Drivers\xxxxx.

I'm running XP Pro with all current upgrades.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
