Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Performance and Maintainance / May 2008Help won't let me delete a directory
I tried a program for backup. Don't know what it did. It never made a backup that was correct. The problem is now there is a directory on my F drive which is an external hard drive that I can not delete. There are 3 directories under it that I can't either. The message I get is "Error 0x80070570 The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. I have ran chkdsk on the drive, I ran defrag. Nothing will let me get rid of this directory. Any suggestions. Thanks for any and all help.

Signaturet-4-2 Hi There, So far I have went to it clicked I said delete. That is when the error message comes. I went to safe mode but because it is an external drive it doesn't show up when I do that. I ran chkdsk and have defragged. It just won't go away. Any help you can be I really appreciate.

Try the link below :( don't let what the link says deter you. Click it and read the page carefully. It contains Symptom, Resolution, Hotfix etc. 'On a Windows Vista-based computer, you cannot view the pop-up menu when you try to access a DVD-VR format DVD that was created by using a consumer electronics DVD recorder' (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942365/en-us) Signaturet-4-2 > Hi There, > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >> Hello Jackie, >> What method or procedures you used trying to delete the directories? Do you have any other data stored on that drive. If not, try formatting the drive, and see what comes up. If the drive is a USB drive, try rerouting the cable so it doesn't go through any other cables such as power (that can corrupt data transfer really easily). SignatureVisit Family Radio Today http://www.familyradio.com/ Hi, Thanks for your reply, Ok, What I have is a Maxtor 100 gig external harddrive. Not quite sure how to format it. Do I just go to computer and then click format and then it should get rid of all those undeletable files and be ready to use again. I worry a little bit of knowledge can make me dangerous. I got in to this trouble because I thought I know more than I do. If what I say above makes sense let me know and I will format. will not do anything till I hear. Thanks for your help.

A hotfix is offered from that link. ( Not this link. This is just a link for a screenshot ). Signaturet-4-2 |
