  You can solve this problem without rerip the whole album.
  Just use Audacity. The program is free and have metadata editor. The new file will be without problems. I had the same problem - with winamp.  But in my case - the CD is dead and I can't rerip the content.

• Cannot delete a file 'empty '.

  I recently downloaded a file and thought I had deleted. However, I managed to create a 0 byte file that appears on my desktop, appears in the file dir / x of order invites and still cannot be moved, renamed, or deleted. Windows reports, "failed to find this article. It is no longer in... ».

  My problem is similar to the "cannot delete illustrates file listed in the file Explorer Vista - does not exist?" thread. I tried several of the steps used in this situation, as the use of a third party file removal tool (KillBox) and also get into the command prompt and try Rd (filename) to remove. I also tried to use e/s (filename), but he kept reporting that "the directory name is incorrect.

  This file is also not protected, and I am logged on as administrator. Any thoughts?

• Cannot delete the file. Says "not not found could not find this item check the location of this object and try again."

  Cannot delete the file.  Says "not not found could not find this item check the location of this object and try again."

  I got this file from my friend got sent - is a word document, I had on their computer.  So I tried to use Disk Cleanup to delete temporary files, temporary internet files and files program downloaded.  Does not work.

  When I check the properties, there is no security tab so I can't transfer ownership in this way.

  I don't want to experiment using the way of the transfer of ownership command prompt as the name of the file is several sentences long.  I can't rename it either, of course.

  Windows 7, a week and I already have a stupid problem which has already lost an hour of my time.

  What I did was to create a Notepad file that was empty and saved in the same location as the file that won't go away.  Once registered.  I click with the right button on the new file and rename the exact name as the file problem.  Don't forget to change the file extension (ex: .doc)

  ex file problem: word.doc

  new file: word.doc

  as long as they match eachother exactly you should see the file problem disappear and once that's gone, you can delete the new file created.

• Cannot delete a file in windows 7. Indicates the specified file name is not valid or too long.

  Hello everyone, I'm pretty stuck here. I can't delete a file in windows 7 or any other do with it besides. Says "the specified file name is not valid or too long. It has a funny name [~ t] and no extension. The file type, say "file". The properties are all screwed looking with a mistake on the Security tab, a size of 0 k, is a Windows (c) \Windows\en-US.The other files in this folder appear normal. The computer seems to work very well without any obvious problems. The only problem is my anti-virus reports with a kind of syntax for the file error and indicates it cannot parse this file. I do not. I can't do a thing with it either. Cannot open, rename, move, delete, change passwords, properties, permissions, nothing. It may be necessary for a good part with 0kb. According to me, I want to just delete the thing. Please, anyone? Thanks in advance.

  Hey bud, I figured out how fix it earlier. I am so happy. I came to remember a command called chkdsk which worked very well for various issues, that I had since the construction of my old 2000 Professional machine. I think that one was my first NTFS system. I always liked how well he error correction. Seemed a lot better than the old scandisk. Low and behold, I tried and star ANISE, it is went through it, found this file almost from the beginning of the analysis and a few lines later, he said has been removed. Says something about the file being orphaned some time ago. It was a very bad child, that I tell you. I ran it in safe mode command prompt. I guess he would have done the same thing in the normal windows well, but I happened to be in safemode, when it came to me. I used the switch /f with her. Since the C:\ command prompt or any drive letter your operating system is selected, type CHKDSK/F if I remember although the f was to have it automatically CORRECT errors. I hope this info helps others with their file or disk problems. It seems that many people say they get mistakes and cannot delete various files here in these forums. Thanks Sandeep for answering me and try to help. It does not matter whether or not it was the fix, it takes time to post and your helping people learn to be it. The only thing that remains unanswered for me is actually the thing of the answer. I mean I can't say someone at - it really answered my question and do not count me? Maybe I should mark so that people will bother to read it and get the fix. HMMMM... I come back here some time later and see whats up.  SeeYou, EWOO

  How what you are trying to delete? Have you tried to delete the attachment it yourself or the entire email. Have you tried to delete the entire thing on the server using a web browser?

  Tried to reset the phone, no joy.

  What does that mean? Have you tried to restart the phone? Have you tried to close the mail application and force restart the phone?

  Press the Home button twice quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used. Drag to the left to find the application you want to close. Swipe up on the preview of the application to close

  To force the reboot your device, press and hold the two buttons of sleep/wake and home for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

  If necessary, use these utilities

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN

However, I get the message "Destination folder access denied."  Or "you must be authorized to perform this action." I get the window with the options RETRY or CANCEL. So boring.
