Instructions: 1. Create a text file and write in it some letters, anything. 2. Save that file in your root drive (C: for example) with the same exact name and extension as the file you want to delete. 3. Now make a backup your new file (I used Acronis True Image). 4. Open your backup program and restore the file you created to the folder where the undeletable file is, overwriting it. 4. Now you can delete it! 5. Run chkdsk. ju.c |
