So on my external hardrive i have a folder which is empty, but it cannot be deleted. Ive had this problem with other stuff but never a folder. When i click on it (to highlight) it freezes, and that folder menu gets the (Not Responding), then if i wait very long eventually it will be highlighted. If i try to double click it to open it i get this error message "folder is not accessible. The request could not be performed becasue of an I/O device error. . Ive tried to delete it using various programs that claim to delete undeletable folders however none of them worked, its not that big a deal because i can work around it, but i cannot create partitions (using acronis) on that drive because it always get stuck when checking that piece. I seem to remember getting some error message with something like chskd (dont remeber the order of the letters but it was something like that).
o and when i try to delete it just using the delete button, first it freezes for a while, then i get the preparing to delete screen, with the little animation of files going to the recycling. and then eventually it tells me it cant be deleted.
anyone have any tips on how i can get rid of this annoyance?
i hope this post is in the right place if not im very sorry i didnt know where to put it so i figured windows was general enough:D
Thanks for the help
