• Cannot delete files from the Recycle Bin

  Hello

  I'm unable to access my trash, everythime I click on the folder, it says windows Explorer has a problem, then said restarting windows.

  And the window just closes, it is there anyway to delete the files from the trash bin other than to go to the folder it self.

  See you soon

  Here is an article on how to repair a trash corrupted in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/131294-recycle-bin-corrupted-cannot-delete-file-folder.html.

  It restarts if you left or do a right-click on the icon or both?  Here are a few ways to empty it by using two methods:

  1. On the desktop, right-click on the Recycle Bin.
  2. Then click the Empty trash to empty its contents.
  3. You will be asked if you are sure that before it permanently deletes the files.
  4. If you're absolutely sure, then click Yes to clear the contents of the Recycle Bin.
  5. Alternatively, you can double-click the Recycle Bin to open and examine its contents.
  6. And then on the file menu, click empty the Recycle Bin.
  7. After confirmation, Windows Vista will be empty all files from the Recycle Bin.

  Go to control panel / customization / Desktop Icons and remove the trash, click OK and close.  Then go back and add the trash.  See if the new basket has the same problem.

  Here is a program that you download that adds a command to empty the trash to the command line if all that you need to do is type of the command in the box search now and it will happen. http://itsvista.com/2007/01/itsvista-tip-23-empty-vistas-recycle-bin-from-the-command-line/.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Recover deleted files from external HDD in Windows 8

  I accidentally deleted files from my external hard drive using SHIFT + DELETE. I use Windows 8. Deleted files is not displayed in the trash. Is there a way I can recover these files?

  External drives do not place their deleted files in a basket, they are removed immediately and simply disappear.

  Keep off the drive and try these recovery software and the attempt to recover lost data.

  Data recovery.

  The first link is free, others are free to try before buy you.  The last two are a bit better in my opinion.

• Cannot delete files from sharing

  I have a ReadyNas Duo performer 5.3.11 v2

  I have a folder that I use for saved documents. Now I am unable to delete all the files and folders in this directory. I spent in actions and reset the permissions. This has not fixed the problem. I have no user or security on the NAS.

  I noticed that there is a Beta from 2013. That would solve this problem? Or y at - it another way to fix this?

  Short answer: I had to go out for a few hours and now it works. I don't know why it broke, and now I don't know why it started working. I did reset on sharing permissions and restarted the NAS server. Maybe he had to make a pass to reset each queue (?).

  But you're just StephenB, good fishing. HTTP has been activated as a service, but not for sharing.

• Cannot delete files from Windows Media Player library.

  Original title: deleting files problem

  I deleted a large number of music of my WMP library & computer files, but they are still listed in WMP. I can't play any of them as they were deleted, and I get a message telling me so when I try! Why are they still displayed in the list and how do I get rid of them? I tried to restart, changing the target folder, etc., without change. I even tried to remove all of the library (but not the computer this time) and they do not always go!

  Hi Jamie,

  Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find all the answers related to Windows.

  According to the description provided, looks like you are not able to completely remove the files in Windows Media Player.

  I have a couple of steps that should help you to solve this problem.

  You can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it clears the titles and generic icons.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  Method 1:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in the start search box and enter.

  3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 2:

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the start search box and enter.

  3 select the folder Media Player, and then click delete on the file menu.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Keep us informed on the status of the issue. If you face problems more when working with Windows post on Microsoft Community.

• Cannot delete files from the external hard drive after copying using Robocopy

  Original title:! VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION! Files that cannot be deleted!

  I did a robocopy and he left during the night and when I came back it was in some kind of loop and my external hard drive was full. The files are not visible in Explorer and if I try to delete them in the command line that fails because some are too long. Urgent I need to redo the space on this external and copy the files to my parents and charity before fly me soon. Please can someone help me.

  * Looks like that I have multiple instances of the same files

  I don't know if you will be able to do this before your flight, but the drive must be partitioned and formatted, reformatted, or scanned for errors of NTFS file allocation table with repairs enabled. Depending on the size of the disk, this could take some time. You can also check statistics of SMARTDRIVE with a utility like Crystal Info disc to see if it is a failure.

  If you do not drive Professional recovery tools available, the native CHKDSK will do in a pinch.

  C:\Windows\System32>chkdsk /?
  Checks a disk and displays a status report.

  [CHKDSK [volume [[path] filename]]] [/ f] [/ v] [/ r] [/ x] [/ I] [/ c] [/ l [: size]] [/ b]

  volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
  mount point or volume name.
  filename FAT/FAT32 only: Specifies the files to check for fragmentation.
  /F fixes errors on the disk.
  /V FAT/FAT32: displays the full path and the name of each file
  on the disk.
  On NTFS: Displays the eventual cleanup messages.
  /R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information
  (implies / f).
  L:size NTFS only: changes the size of the logfile to the specified number
  of kilobytes.  If the size is not specified, displays currently
  size.
  /X force the volume to unmount it first if necessary.
  All open handles to the volume would then be invalid
  (implies / f).
  /I NTFS only: performs a less vigorous check of index entries.
  /C NTFS only: skips, checking of cycles within the folder
  structure.
  /B NTFS only: Re-evaluates bad clusters on the volume
  (implies / r)

  The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run Chkdsk by
  skip certain checks of the volume.

  Any routine review and car repair will take time. CHKDSK is no exception.

• Cannot copy files from USB key!

  I have a picture of game size 4.17 GB. When I was trying to transfer it to my USB drive (16 GB), it displays message that the drive is full, so that only 8 KB was filled. I tried to copy another image of the game, but the same thing happened. Other files and songs, movies can be easily transferred but not game footage. Help, please!
