When I try to delete Local Settings I get this http://superuser.com/questions/229563/how-to-delete-files-and-folders-that-cannot-be-deleted error: When I try to delete Favorites, I get this error: I ran this in a cmd shell: attrib *.* -r -a -s -h /s ...but it did not help, nor did it return any errors/warnings. I used Unlocker v1.8.5 and LockHunter repeatedly at multiple levels to see if any files are in use, but both always say: No Files Locked. Update #1: I was able to rename the directory, which now gives me this warning before (trying to) delete: If I press Yes (or Yes to All) then I get this error: Update #2: I let chkdsk /f run which required a reboot since it's on my primary system partition. During Stage 2 scanning, I received about 40 of these: Deleting an index entry from index $0 of file 25. ...followed by: Deleting index entry cookies in index $I30 of file 37576. ...but I still get the first error dialog above when trying to delete. I ran chkdsk again, this time: chkdsk /f /r. Produced no messages. Same result when deleting. Update #3: Digging deeper, the 99 is the name of one of many directories located deep in here: C:\Documents and Settings.OLD\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\address@hotmail.com\SharingMetadata\user@hotmail.com\DFSR\Staging\CS{

Windows 7: Cannot delete o byte file that "doesn't exist" 08 Jul 2014 #1 clemstil Win 7 64bit 4 posts Cannot delete o byte file that "doesn't exist" I cannot delete a file with the following file name: "CC2CB5E4." (without the cannot find quotation marks). It is 0 bytes, no file extension, the name cannot be changed, it's NOT read only, no option to change permissions, and as far as the system is concerned it doesn't exist. I've tried all the elevated command prompt tricks suggested on this and other forums: 1. End process "explorer.exe" followed by attempting to delete CC2CB5E4. (yes, I changed to the relevant directory) 2. Tried using /P /F /S cannot find the /Q /A and the * wildcard 3. Tried deleting the folder in which it resides: RD /S /Q [DRIVE:]\PATH\TO\FOLDER Every method I try results in "The system cannot find the file specified." FileASSASSIN and Unlocker don't work because the system doesn't recognize the file as even existing. I also tried deleting the file and its folder in safe mode. Nothing works. Any idea what's going on here?
