got an empty file that I want to delete, but I'm getting this message ?

 

How do I delete it ?

 

What is the command that you type into "run" to access your DOS commands - I used to know this.

You should have command prompt under accessories or you can do "CMD" from run.

 

If its on yout hard disk that message does suggest corruption - you may need a chkdsk - if its a removable disk try removing it and plugging it back in.

I remembered CMD.......went into dos and tried to delete the file but it still won't find it ie its listed but it won't delete it. Its an empty mp3 file with no data.

 

What is CHKDSK again ?

chkdsk sorts out simple file corruption.

 

go to a command prompt and try:

 

chkdsk /r

 

- it may say it'll schedule it for next start up

 

 

aye, cheers mate...forgot about all these old type dos commands.
