O.P. Huh?  Can't delete files
I have some files that I think are corrupt, I can't rename them or anything, because there is no option, the only options are to play in winamp/windows media player and stuff, no delete or anything, it's weird.

But when i try and delete the folder that they're in, I get this error:

[Image: attachment.php?pid=505566]

Does anybody know how I can delete these... I've tried Safe Mode etc.

This file has been downloaded 196 time(s).

I can't rename the files or edit them in anyway, I get the error that it "cannot read the source file or disk".

you could try downloading a file with the same name and extension ;) worth a try

The file is simply a corrupt MP3, I have never came across this before, I can't rename the file or delete the file.

I can't seem to change it from read only either...

Have you run scandisk? It should correct the errors so you can delete them.
