Hi,

I hope someone can help me with this cause its driving me crazy!!

I have a number of folders in the c:\Windows directory that I cannot delete (they all start with lots of underscore ______) and also 4 shortcuts in the quick link bar and cookies in the cookies folder that also cannot be removed (I assume that they are all linked!).

The error message that I get is:

Cannot Delete File: File System Error (1026)

I also get the following message when trying to empty the recycle bin:

Cannot Delete ______~1: Cannot Find the Specified File

Any ideas??? Is there any more info that you need??

Thanks

S:cry:

Have you tried a Google search for that message?

Just type the exact error message in quotes there, and you may come up with a solution on your own.

Hi, Thanks for the reply


I have tried that but all of the articles (including the MS ones) relate to recycle bin issues and moving broken shortcuts and do not tell me how to actually delete the folders or files!

Try rebooting to MS-DOS and delete it from there...

Thanks for all the help guys - unfortunately I still havent been able to sort it.

I looked at the article (its the same as the MS TEch Net one) and that allows me to empty the recycle bin but not to clean out the other files that are on the system - and whenever anything is put into the recycle bin I have to use the Disk Cleanup tool to empty it!!

I'm really puzzled now!!:rolleyes:
