Cannot Delete File Crc Error
The How-To Geek Forums Have Migrated to Discourse How-To Geek Forums / Windows XP Can't delete file (14 posts) Started 7 years ago by rosakw Latest reply from LH Topic Viewed 3556 times rosakw Posts: 48 This post has been reported. I was trying to move a photo that I scanned to a folder in My Documents a long time ago. I was moving all the photos in that folder and they all moved successfully except this one. Every time I try to either move it or delete it a box pops up with this error message: "Error deleting file or folder. Cannot delete cxTrish and John.JPG:Data error (cyclic redundancy check)." I then decided to just delete the whole folder, as it wasn't needed any more anyway and I get the same message. So how do I get rid of this photo and why is it doing that? I'd appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you! Reports: · Posted 7 years ago Top LH Posts: 20002 This post has been reported. Hello rosakw. Try this. Download,and install FreeCommander (run it as administrator). Navigate to the files you can't delete. Rename them, and then delete them from within FC. http://www.freecommander.com/ Reports: · Posted 7 years ago Top rosakw Posts: 48 This post has been reported. Hello LH, I did as you said and it still won't let me change the file name or delete it through FreeCommander either. It did let me change the folder name but got the same error message when trying to delete it. Thank you for trying! If you have any more ideas I'm open to them!!

Reports: · Posted 7 years ago Top ScottW Posts: 6609 This post has been reported. rosakw, hello. This error message is mildly troubling. The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is used to verify data written to the hard drive. The CRC error message you get says that there might be a problem on the hard drive where that file is written. I want you to run a full length diagnostic on that hard drive to see if there is a problem. First, we need to know the manufacturer of the drive so that you can get the right diagnostic tool. Go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information. That will launch the system information utility. Expand (click on the plus) the "Components" section, then expand "Storage", then select (click on) "Disks". Hopefully, you only have one drive here, otherwise we will have to figure out which one has My Documents. Find the line that says "Model" and post back with that information. We can then search on that

Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: UK Nov 6th, 2006, 08:11 PM CRC is basically a method of determining whether a file is free from errors. It's strange that a CRC error would prevent you from deleting a file but I would not worry about it too much. Unfortunatly I cannot suggest much more than booting into safemode and trying to delete the file again. Alternativly there could be a command line switch which disables CRC while performing the delete operation. __________________ Quote: Originally Posted by bigtimecow japan MetalMilitia View Public Profile Send a private message to MetalMilitia Find all posts by MetalMilitia #3 soundtest TERRIBLE BEAT Join Date: Apr 2001 Location: SHANGHAI Nov 6th, 2006, 09:04 PM Do you get this error just in Explorer or if you try to delete it from the command line too? soundtest View Public Profile Send a private message to soundtest Visit soundtest's homepage!

I've read other posts, and as far as I can tell, no one really knows. I keep seeing 1) submit a bug report (which I did, I think, on MS Connect) and 2)turn off duplication, AV software etc. I've done all that....I tried to delete them using cmd prompt (del d:\shares\users\offending folder) and it says "Are you sure Y/N?" So, I type Y (YES I'm sure!), but the file (folder in this case) is still there. I tried running CHKDSK on a few disks in cmd prompt, but I was being asked some questions I didn't understand. Something about something will be lost, so I said N. I have 5 files that are reporting this error in the same folder (they happen to be VIA drivers, but I figure that is irrelavant). I JUST WANT TO DELETE THEM. HELP? Sunday, August 17, 2008 9:44 AM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote legierk wrote: Well, that's good advice kariya, but how do I do that? (look through the mount points) Just browse through D:\DE\shares\[sharename] and C:\fs\x\DE\shares\[sharename] from the server desktop (where x is a random letter or number). For example, if you have a file in \\server\videos called test.avi that is causing a problem, then the full path to the actual file will either be D:\DE\shares\videos\test.avi or C:\fs\x\DE\shares\videos\test.avi (again, where x is a random letter or number). So if you found the full path to the actual file was C:\fs\1M\DE\shares\videos\test.avi, then you would want to run chkdsk on 1M. The command for that would be: Code Snippet ch
