The Mysterious Undeletable File!
I'm just chock-full of wierd problems this week!
Today's issue:
Just bought a new Iomega REV drive. We backed up most of our data server to it last night as a test. Checked it today. Everything's there. However, we backed up a couple folders to many on accident, so I went into the drive to erase the extra two folders. Can't delete them.
One of them is a temp folder. Looked like there was a particular file that was refusing to be deleted, so I went into the folder and started deleting everything a chunk at a time until I pinpointed the problem file. Sure enough, I managed to clean out the entire folder except for one file that refuses to delete, entitled "Improve your cell phone reception." (The file name has a couple of lines worth of spaces at the end as well, and no file extension.) I try to delete it, and get this error:
Quote:
Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk.
So I tried opening the file in notepad to see what it looked like, of course expecting unreadable gobbledy-gook. Instead, I got this error:
Quote:
Cannot find F:\...\Improve your cell phone reception. Do you want to create a new file?
So all I gotta say to that is...Huh?!
