Re: Can't delete files

I just did run chkdsk. Thanks for the idea but I'm still having problems.

I found one of the offending files (there are a bunch). I'm getting error
messages as "Cannot delete symicnet.dll: The file or directory is corrupted
and unreadable".

I really don't understand what the problem could be. I'm using
Administrator privileges.

I'd appreciate other ideas. Thank you.

Mike

Hello,

Did you run chkdsk as "CHKDSK D: /F"

I ran chkdsk and it's doing the same things.

Thanks for the idea and any other thoughts will be welcome.

Have you run chkdsk on the drive to check disk corruption

A while back, I needed to restore some lost files and had to restore

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
