I tried using a program that edits the file before Windows boots but when I tried to tell it the file path it gave me a Invalid file error. So then I look more closely and the file name is insanely long and I don't even see the .jpg at the end. So I'm wondering if theres any thing I can do it remove it.

| [QUOTE]Originally Posted by soulshadow59: i tried everything too...and i finally found a free software that works...PURGEIE is the name of the software..extremely easy to use! [/QUOTE] There's a simple solution to this problem. All you need is a MS-DOS based program (I used Nortpn commander 5.0) and find the file by it's 8.3 filename format and delete it. Example: Long file name: "1234blablablabla.jpeg" 8.3 file name would be "123bla~1.jpe" Problem is with long filenames and charset code tables. Some spamers use wired symbols in the filenames in their spams (pics, trojans, clips...) that are usually distributed via p2p. Tip: don't download EVERYTHING you see. |

That won't work. The file would be found, but renaming, accessing or deleting it is impossible with windows interface. You get same error. Only 2 ways is deleting a parent folder or deleting (or renaming) the file via ms-dos based interface that doesn't support LFNs.
What strikes me odd is that the drive appears to be healthy. No drive scans ever revealed any errors to me, and I've tried everything, including the chkdsk /p in the recovery console. This post was last edited by Chaky on Monday, June 04, 2007 2:48:20 PM. |
