Unable to file to rename or delete files

• name of file is damaged and I can't rename or delete the

  I'm on a MacBook Pro OS 10.11.2.

  I use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup over a year with no problems.  She always did exactly what I expect from him and I don't know how it is related to this problem, but it is the program that revealed the problem.

  I ran a CCC backup tonight, and for the first time, I got a message saying that it had been a mistake.  I watched the news and he said that a mistake had occurred during the transfer of a file.  The file is buried several folders deep on my desktop and so far it was still named "10/12/94.  However, the file has now acquired the name "10/12/94␀ [email protected] ␀Re 4 '-it now contains special characters and it may contain invisible special characters as well.  (Note that the file is a text file of email, so the "[email protected]" in the corrupted name is probably the beginning of the e-mail address of a message in the file).

  I don't know what caused the change of name - if just CCC discovered or that it caused the problem.  I ran my last backup 6 days without any problem, and I not did something weird to my computer since then.  The file that causes the problem is that I haven't looked over the years, and I was not in four or five levels of this Bank, since I copied it on my computer from my old laptop.

  I tried to delete the file from the finder, and I get a message that "the operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code - 50)."  I tried to rename the file from the finder, and any new name I type, I get a message that the name cannot be used.

  I tried to delete the file from the terminal with rm and I get an error "Invalid Argument".

  I tried to delete the file using the Recycle Bin option in the utility application of Onyx, and I get an error "Invalid Argument".

  I tried to delete the file using the trash it! request for utility and I get an error "Invalid Argument".

  I also tried all of these options of deletion on the record encompassing both, and they all fail in this case.

  I ran disk on the drive utility and it found no error.  I also ran check disk of Onyx and it found no error.

  I tried a variety of Google search terms and I have tried many different suggestions that came, but nothing has worked.

  Anyone have an idea how I can rename or delete this file?  After performing backup of tonight I have it now on my laptop and my support.

  Thank you.

  Have you tried to change the protection on the file? This can be done from the finder with "Get Info" or from the command-line if you are savvy of Unix. Give you access to R + W and try to rename or to delete again, you choose.

  In addition, if the file is located on the boot disk, boot from the recovery partition and run the tool again to drive from there.

  Kind regards

• What is the use of the file winsxS\Policies if we can rename or delete arbitrary?

  The solution proposed by Snave_Nivek for a NET problem was:

  Rename %windir%\winsxS\Policies (or remove) and then reinstall .NET.

  Which will not affect other programs? What is the use of the file winsxS\Policies if we can rename or delete arbitrary?

  Hello

  The point behind rename/remove the policies folder is to eliminate the possibility of corrupted files. Once deleted/renamed, the folder is recreated.

  However, note that renaming/deleting is not applicable to all records.

  For more information on the WINSXS directory, see this article:

  What is the WINSXS directory in Windows 2008 and Windows Vista, and why is it so important?

• Error: "Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to play, burn, or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed or deleted'

  Original title: laptop won't read the music files stored on external hard drive

  I have an old Compaq laptop Windows XP, so it was out of memory I transferred everything on a Portable Seagate (500 GB) hard drive and started to access it. It's worked well for over a year, but lately, began to stop playing my music files. Absolutely everything on the hard drive opens, however, images, files and folders, but when I go into Windows Media Player, it pops up with this error message:

  Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to read, burn or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.
  I have not modified parameters or anything that moved. I used to be just able to restart the laptop, or disconnect and reconnect the hard drive and it works again, but now it or not will be not at all, or it will cut off half way through a song and then not to play anything more.
  I can't find any support for this problem because the phone reads that the hard drive is there, and everything else works. Only the music doesn't. I tried to play music on a connected USB and it works fine. I'm so confused!

• Cannot rename or delete email after backup in Windows 7

  In the past, after saving an email, I could delete or change its name to right click on the file, choose Rename or delete and then change the name or removing the enamel of the folder.
  Now, when I right click on a thunderbird e-mail, these options are no longer on the menu drop down. Is there a setting problem, or Mozilla has changed the drop down menu to be less very user?

  I assume that your reference to a standard EML file in the file system (exactly the same as in the venerable Outlook Express). If this is the case your windows problem. The file system and Thunderbird are not closely associated to be create menu entries.

• When I right click of my mouse to rename or delete a file from my computer crashes. What should do?

  When it freezes I go to the Task Manager to continue.  This has happened two or three weeks.

  Thanks for the info.  The process suggested that the moderator of the Forum about the clean boot and isolate the entry under services in mscongig allowed me to isolate the file at the root of the problem - in my case the rules of WD.  I uncheck and applied at this point, but I'm not sure what problems this may cause in the future.  I guess it's related to Western Digital and will attempt to communicate with them.  Once again, thank you for the help.
