| | Deleting 0 byte files I have a couple files with 0 bytes. Windows will not let me delete them. It keeps telling me they are not there. But they keep showing up as 0 bytes. Any help? |

| | Re: Deleting 0 byte files Run chkdsk /f or use the Check now option from computer / drive properties / tools. The fact that Windows reports the files not there, as contrasted to locked or open, indicates a file system problem. -- "Kevin B." <KevinB@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:97D9E641-AA4D-4505-B7C6-6E797C3E345E@xxxxxx Quote: >I have a couple files with 0 bytes.
