Can't delete files by user27089 on 08-02-2005 at 12:49 PM
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:
Does anybody know how I can delete these... I've tried Safe Mode etc.

reanme the extention and try deleting in safe mode again

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

ok
, i'll do a bit of reserach on it for you 
maybe get some help.* absorbation opens cookie's book and wisdom
is it read only, if so untick and try again, i can't think of much
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.
