Cannot delete the file of zero length without name

I have a file without a name, that I can't delete zero length. I tried to delete by right-clicking and selecting delete (System does nothing). I tried to delete the directory where the file is contained. (The name is invalid or too long). I also tried to delete it using BACK del *. (Incorrect file name)

The 8.3 name is also empty:
11/08/2010 09:46

.
11/08/2010 09:46 ...
09/18/2009 11:07 0
1 file (s) 0 bytes
2 dir 73,268,756,480 bytes free

Any ideas?

Thank you all, but the problem persists.

1. do not know how to disable AVG and TortoiseSVN
2. has managed to move directory, but still unable to remove file
3. without success with safe mode
4. used * filename in takeown and icacls (orders failed to file and directory level)

Directory renamed and moved to a discreet place to forget. (Problem solved)

Thank you very much
JB

  • 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.

    Hi Guys - I was reading just return and am surprised that this problem has been dates back to February 2013 with no solutions being provided by MS - it's a real shame to MS support staff and a shame to have a support system that is unable to provide support.

    the solution is use shift + delete which gives you an option to permanently delete, so no need to cut an excerpt or find new no programs etc. installed. Just a SIMPLE SOLUTION.

  • Cannot delete the file on the remote server (Business Catalyst)

    Hi, I am trying to delete a file on my remote server (Business Catalyst), but I get an error message (log of the errors below).  I can delete the other files in the same folder.  In addition, the permissions are the same on the files I can delete and one that I can't.  I can not remove this file with FileZilla, either - get a similar error message.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  This is a template file and I really need to be able to delete or modify it.  Thank you.

  • Cannot delete the file/folder even in Administrator Mode or Mode safe

    I. hate. Vista. Windows XP has NEVER been this difficult to work with!

    I recently installed MagicISO. Didn't like it, so I deleted it. He left behind a small dll file and the folder. I wanted to remove both, couldn't.

    Tried safe mode. FAILED

    Administrator account I tried. FAILED

    Tried both together. FAILED

    Help me please? How could I not have permission to delete a file in administrator mode? Seriously, Windows Vista is just messed up all unrecognizable... * rant rant rant *.

    In fact, I thought that the answer.

    Went to safe mode.

    Used ShellExViewer (RUN AS ADMIN) and disabled MagicISO.

    Walked over to the directory and delete the .dll and the folder that it is.

    Restarted my computer in normal mode.

    Problem solved.

    Thank you all for helping me. I appreciate it a lot! I don't know what I'd do without you people. : D
