Several files in a temp folder cannot be deleted, rename, copy, or move to XP

I have several files in my temp folder that I can't delete, rename, copy, or move. I was hunting for them with research and it brings back me to the same temp file. The registry can not find them. I even tried to delete using BACK, but it says no file. I get no error message just bong when I try to remove it. I just tried to delete them in safe mode, it did not work.

You can navigate to the folder in the command prompt?  From the record have you tried del *. * ?

Run a chkdsk /f on the volume.

  • How to force remove a virus/malware process/file in the temp folder?

    I am sure that I met a virus/malware and she had tried several times to enter a first time (that I had said no to the permission of windows) in my hard drive and then hours later, something was repeatedly asking me to upload a file to my computer I say also to cancel. I never met this kind of behaviour before. I also tried to remove some very similar processes/files in the temp folder immediately when he arrived, but these same files name would not remove. They were not the debug log files. And I've never seen these files before. How can I force malicious deleting something like this will not remove like regular temporary files that are.

  • Deleting the file in the Temp folder

    I have a file in my TEMP folder called BCGECE. TEMP

    He said: I can not remove it because it is used by another person or program and to close all applications and try again. I have notheing ope, but still can not remove it?

    Suspect A malware.

    What anti-virus application is installed? What's his current subscription? He has never been allowed to expire?
    What other antimalware applications are in use?

    Download, install, update and run full scans with each of the following free tools. Do not run the scans at the same time. Each analysis will take a long time, so start an and then go for a non computer chore.  Leave the delete/quarantine everything it finds. Once completed, you can uninstall these applications.

    Do a scan with the free eSet online scanner virus

    B. delete the file

    Assuming that the file is not removed by one of the above tools, the following steps work almost always:

    • Close all running applications.
    • Open Task Manager (press CTRL + ALT + DELETE)
    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    • Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line
      CD folder
      dir b * (this step is only to list all the files to confirm that you have changed the appropriate directory, make sure that BCGECE.) TEMP is in the list)
    • In Task Manager, find explorer.exe in the processes list, select it, then click on "end process."  Your desktop will become empty except for open windows from the command prompt and the Task Manager
    • Return to the command prompt window and type the following line and press enter
      del BCGECE. TEMP
    • In the Task Manager, click file > new task (run...) and type explorer.exe in the area. Click OK. Your desktop should reappear
    • Close the Task Manager windows command prompt

    If for any reason the foregoing does not, from the start in a "clean boot" configuration XP and delete the file in the usual way.   Use "Method 2" (manual method) to the linked article.

    A standard procedure for the administration of the system is to reduce the amount of storage space used (typically a hard disk) by deleting temporary files.

  • What happens if I delete the files in the Temp folder in Windows 7?

    What is happening in the windows--> Temp folder in windows 7, and if I delete the files there, that will be a problem?  I want to free up the disk space of 1.8 G, but can't find any info anywhere of the consequences of deleting these files, what they are for, or how they got there.  Thank you!

    In general, it is safe to delete anything in the Temp folder.  Sometimes, you can get a "Cannot be deleted because the file is in use" message, but you can just ignore these files.

    For safety, do your Temp directory deletion right after you restart the computer.  Sometimes a program installer will put something in the Temp directory it needs to complete the installation after a reboot.  If you restart and wait a bit so that they were, whatever left in the Temp folder should be OK to delete it.

    If you want to be conservative, use the built-in Disk Cleanup tool (type of cleaning disc in the search box).  If you select "Temporary files" as one of the elements to clean (deleted), by default, that Disk Cleanup removes only the files that have not changed in 7 days.

    Matt, thanks. I read your blog post. I need to replace my HD and I've been fretting over if I have to loose important data from the temporary files. Apparently not. When I talked about ccleaner, it was in the generic sense. I avoided ccleaner because I thought it was a big hammer and some data that he brags about getting rid of I really want to continue. I know that I can choose what remains and what is happening, I'll have to give him another look. Once again thank you.

  • Renaming of documents by adding an annex of the commune for the names of existing files on several files in a single folder

    Is it possible to add an annex to the town (for example "-file BL ') existing file name (for example"daily reports1) to several (selected) files in the same folder?  (The example given could therefore be renamed "daily reports - comes from the BL file").  I need to do this to identify the source of documents folder when they are copied into a common folder: to compare with the similar files in other folders for various purposes.  There are a lot of documents in many files, I need to transfer and compare.  A rough estimate, it is that I need to add an annex to the town of 200 files named differently in a single folder and repeat this process for 30 files: with my existing knowledge of XP, this means that I would have use the rename individually on 6000 documents, and if the additional annex has been say 5 characters which would be a minimum of 30 000 key strokes : If adding appendages common to several document names selected in a folder is possible, this might reduce the name change to close to 150 list.

    PLEASE NOTE the multiple rename function where each selected file is the same thing with a renamed after the index number in brackets should not be - the original file name should be kept.

  • ESXi 5.0 can join vCenter, vpxa rogue folder cannot be deleted

    the problem seems to come from:

    Hi all

    I managed to solve the problem.

    It was so simple:

    Newspapers, I noticed that: when you try to join the host to vCenter, he was questioned on the vpxResultFilter.xml file and could not find it. (the file was somehow been renamed. #vpxResultFilter.xml)

    I copied. #vpxResultFilter.xml to vpxResultFilter.xml as below and voila, it worked.

    / opt/vmware/vpxa/vpx # ls-l - has

  • Is the Perflib_Perfdata_a3c.dat file in the Temp folder a virus? Says it cannot be deleted.

    been having serious trouble for 12 days now and my SE no longer works. Anyone know if this file is a virus or Trojan or whatever?

    Windows performance monitoring programs create files named Perflib_Perfdata_xxx.dat, which can not be removed while running the program that created them.  You should be able to remove those files that were created before today.  They do not indicate a virus.

    I tried to change the attributes for the file I copy TO remove the READ ONLY check.  I apply, say ok but when I open it READ-ONLY file is marked again.

    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you

    =============================
    I do not think that the 'Read only' attribute of your
    file is the problem... in fact, it is typical.
    All files on my XP Pro system have a
    Square marker (not checked) to playback
    Only the check box.

    If you want to experiment the following article...
    explains how to change the read-only attribute.

    Open your folder my pictures and create a new folder...
    File / new / folder... (more on this shortly)

    Insert your SD card into your Media Player. Do not forget
    to slightly press the card at the bottom of the slot.

    If the Autorun screen opens, close it.

    Reach... My computer or on the removable click
    Disk that corresponds to the location of your card is in.

    In the menu... Choose... Explore.

    You should be able to see the directory of the card.

    Open the folders and find pictures.

    Reach... Edition / select all... then... Edition / copy.

    Right click on the new folder that you created in my
    Images, text and the menu... Choose... Dough.

  • File open in another folder cannot be renamed

    None of the files are currently open.
    It happens sometimes:

    3. Windows indicates a file is open in another window and cannot rename.

    Sometimes waiting like 15 min then return to rename the folder works.
    Is there a solution to this problem?

  • Several files in the same folder on vCenter sysprep? What Miss me?

    KO.vmware.com/Ko/1005593

    OK - this is a great doc for sysprep files into the correct folders, but I'm confused on multiple versions.

    It is said to put multiple versions of Windows 2003 sysprep in the same folder (svr2003) and even for XP.

    Are we supposed to use only the most recent version of the sysprep file? We cannot put multiples of the same file name in the same folder.

    I know it I'm missing something simple here someone please report.

  • Help! What's the trick to delete several files simultaneously in a folder. I have dffculty and as you can imagine it's very frustrating and begins to decrease the duration of my life.

    I press on and hold down the CTRL key, and then select each file to remove, but often find that my computer is copy them at the same time. I believe that to succeed when you delete individual files.

    If you want to select a single file at a time, click the 1 file / hold down SHIFT when you select / click on the other files. The other files will be featured

    Then you can delete them (press the delete key)

    If you want to delete all the files in the folder (the shortcut is - hold CTRL and press A).
    This will highlight / select all the files in the folder, and then press DELETE
