Cannot delete Folders or Files is the most annoying thing in Win 7 OS - any malware?


Recommended Posts

Cannot delete folders and files using Windows Delete or Unlocker or BC Wipe.
Messages like Long Folder or File Names, No Files or Folder found, Folders or Files is Damaged or Corrupted, run checkdisk, access is denied, there has been a sharing violation, it is being used by another person or program, write-protected, the file is currently in use when it is actually not in use. etc etc.
Does anybody has any ideas how to force delete the folders or files?
Can the directory entries be force removed?
Windows actually does not erase the content of these files - it only deletes references to these files but the content of
all deleted files remains on the disk. Can the directory area of the hard disk be edited to remove these references?

Please provide more details on what files and folders you're trying to remove. All can be removed but many should not be and users often don't know the difference.

 

Once you give us more details then also please run the following and post back the logs.
