![]() I gave Eraser a try after shaver33060's post. Didn't work. Same old message about those files being corrupt and unreadable.

![]() Try renaming the files by giving them a different file extension (ie .avi or .doc), then try deleting them.
Good luck!

![]() Do what canner said.
Put your computer in safe mode then delete it. Works all the time for any file. To get your com in safe mode. Start your computer or restart it. If on allready. When it starts comming on. Start pushing F8 and keep pushing it till a screen comes up with different options on what to do. Hit the arrow button up or down to highlight the safe mode. Then click enter. After your computer has booted up into safe mode. Go delete what you want deleted. Then delete it from the Recycle Bin Once it is gone. Restart your computer. Start pushing F8 again and keep pushing it till a screen comes up with different options on what to do. Hit the arrow button up or down to highlight the normal. Then click enter. Your Computer will go back to normal for you. nicfguy |

![]() A simple reboot will usually correct this problem. Usually the file is still in use on your system an needs to be freed before it can be deleted. I prefer this method instead of downloading additional software.

![]() nicfguy hit the nail on the head almost always when this problem shows its head its because you are not empting the recycle bin before you dismount the device.When you delete a file there is actually no delete done its just earmarked for deletion the next time you empty the recycle bin.This must be done before you dismount/remove the device.

![]() Thanks for the helpful reply's. To all of you.
Your suggestions didn't help me, but others might find some very useful information here. Well, I finally got rid of those files a while ago. By formatting the drive with the memory stick (Backing up all useful data first, of course). A final solution, sort of. If you can't delete some files for some matter, transfer them to a empty USB stick and have it formatted. I think those corrupted downloads had something to do with the particular memory stick I was using. Corrupt files like that didn't show up elsewhere (on a HD) or with any other stick. It got worse with times. I had a lot of corrupted files I wasn't able to open, although their size showed up correct. Had to re-download dozens of files again. In the end the size of the stick's free volume started to show up wrong too. Fed up with it, I did the above. Now I'm gonna buy a new memory stick and throw the old one away. |
