| Guest | Can't delete file! I have a folder that when I try to access it, it tells me "file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. If I try to delete it I get "error 0x80070091 the directory is not empty". How can I recover this file or delete it? |

| Guest | Re: Can't delete file! Ensure that you do not have any running applications when trying to delete the directory, there might be some dependencies there. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry <robert.clere@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ubQoiCnDIHA.5360@xxxxxx

| Guest | Re: Can't delete file! Thanks! I went to safe mode and ran chkdsk/f on the drive. It solved the problem! "John Inzer" <oobie@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uFesDSnDIHA.1168@xxxxxx
