I was transferring a folder from my internal HD to a flash drive attached by a USB port and the computer froze. I re-started the computer but the particular folder I tried to transfer now gives me the following error message when I tried to delete it: "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." I searched your forums and found a discussion about this problem. A link was given for using the cmd prompt but I did not understand the directions. I searched online some more about deleting a folder with the cmd prompt and came upon these directions in relation to deleting a folder (as compared to only a file):
1. First locate the folder that you would like to delete.
2. Then on the command prompt type:
Code:
rmdir foldername
Since my flash drive is labeled as the "G drive" I typed: G:\>rmdir corrupt but this did not work (I changed the name of the folder to "corrupt"). I also tried: G:\>rmdir Comedy\George Carlin\corrupt and included the entire name of the file path. Nada. Am I doing this at all correctly?
