How To Delete A File That Cannot Be Found Windows 10
file names which can include spaces, it still creates 8 character "8.3" filenames in the background. An 8.3 filename is formatted like its name sounds: an 8 character name, a dot, and a 3 character extension. If you try to use a filename greater than 8 characters, the 8.3 filename will be changed to 6 characters, followed by a tilda (~) and a number, then a dot could not find this item windows 10 and 3 character extension. Such a filename might look like this: myfile~1.txt Solution: If you experience this error message when trying to delete or rename a file/folder, you can resolve it by following these steps exactly. This worked for me: Open up a command prompt (run cmd.exe from the Start Menu). Navigate to the folder that the object resides in. Run "dir /a /x /p" to display the contents of the folder, including hidden files (/a) and 8.3 filenames (/x). Find the 8.3 filename of the object to the left of the regular, long filename. Run "ren [8.3 name]" to rename the object, "del [8.3 name]" to delete it if it's a file and "rd /s [8.3 name]" to delete it if it's a folder. Note: If renaming to a long filename, make sure to enclose the long filename in quotations. If that fails, temporarily rename it to an 8.3 name and then rename it to what you want outside of the command prompt.

Whenever I try to delete, it gives me a message saying "Could not find this item. This is no longer located in http://danswebspot.com/2009/07/vista-item-not-found-solution/ -folder name-. Verify the item's location and try again." The file is called "members.siteimnotproudof." I have given a different extension name here to protect the innocent. The file still appears in the folder, and I get the same message no matter what I try to do with it. It comes up when I run a search. I think it may have gotten there when I was http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/item-not-found-when-trying-to-delete toying around with FlashGot on a website.
