 |
|
Hi! :-)
I have a file at
"F:\furry images\EASYWEBLEACHTEMP\20071207-102948- Dark Natasha "
including the space between the a and " that every time I try to delete it,
I get the same bleepin' thing.
"Cannot delete 20071207-102948- Dark Natasha " cannot find the specified file
Programs that can "delete on next boot" do not work. Trying to delete from
safe mode does not work, gets the same error message.
What must I do to get rid of this annoyance? |

Try this:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type these commands:
cd /d "F:\furry images\EASYWEBLEACHTEMP"{Enter}
dir 2*.* /x{Enter}
You will see two names: One is the full file name, the other the
short file name. Let's assume the short name is 2007~abc.xyz.
Type this command:
del 2007~abc.xyz{Enter}- Hide quoted text -
- Show quoted text -

Boot from Linux Live-CD (Any distro will do)
Mount your F: Partition
Delete unwanted file
Re-Boot

Thanx, but that didn't work, still got "could not find" I also tried the
same method to delete the folder the file is in. Here's a screenshot of all
the results

Cancel that last message, I just looked and much to my surprise, it's gone.
I didn't think it was because as you can see from the screenshot, the cmd
window indicated that it wasn't. Thanx for your help  |
