Error "this element is not found. It is no longer in E:... Check the location of the item and try again.

I got this message after copying and pasting files from my external hard drive to my pc (windows 8), while some files were not able to be pasted. I pressed on the "try again button", still the same problem happened.

I doubt it should not have any corruption with my files (jpg, Word document) because I could open it directly from my external hard drive and I also joined one of the 'problem' files to my email and download it from there, to my pc. It has worked well.
I need a solution ASAP pls.

I had this problem with a file in Windows 8. Here's how I solved it.

The file that has not been answered was in C:/Users/username/Downloads. So I open the command prompt and typing the following:

CD downloads

dir/x

[list of files and personal records, along with each receiving a short name, in the case of my file is FILE ~ 1]

del FILE ~ 1

.. ... who did it. Apparently, some have had more success when you rename the file:

Ren FILE ~ 1 newname
newname del
