Recommended Posts

Ok so i'm trying to tidy up my External HDD and i come across an old Backup and i delete it all apart from one file that won't Delete........

I have tried using CMD Commands, Killbox and FileASSASSIN.......

When trying to delete in Killbox i get

File Error

'This file does not seem to exist',

I've looked around the net and found nothing..........

I would prefer not to Format if possible

Any ideas?

Any help would be nice!

Need more info? then just ask

With so little details about the file, I can think only of generic solutions:

- try from command line (with short names if applicable, to see them use dir /x)

- try chkdsk

- try on another computer

- try shutting antivirus down, if any

etc.

The file is a generic file.... (From my dad's Family Tree Program)

I says it has a mass of 4.71mb but at the same time 0.00kb

Have tried all those suggestions before....... with no sucess

You need to run chkdsk with the /f switch, reboot and try again.

If the file has a long filename and is nested in folders with long filenames where the total combined path exceeds 255 characters, you may also run into this issue. If this is your situation, simply rename parent folders to a short, one letter, name (which will reduce the path length) and try again.
