Thanks Brian. I need help on drives. I recently discovered that I must have two drives (Local Disk C and D) in order to protect my files incase something happens to the system. My pc only has one drive (C). How do I split it into two, one with Windows and the other with my files.

thanks for the tip. I had to use emco because the force delete would always say it could find the file. I used emco and it worked. But when I went to uninstall it, had to shutdown explorer.exe, But it didn't reopen it. I had to find a way to go into task manager and start it, but it started to flash and I had to force restart my pc. wouldn't recommend using that program again.

In my case the CMD method didn't work, but I suspect it was because the corrupted file was on a different drive than C:\, (I did try using cd first but CMD couldn't accept the path to the file even with the drive letter amended). I went ahead and tried the EMCO UnlockIT freeware you mentioned at the end, and it worked a treat. Thanks for a helpful tutorial :)

You can find the file via: dir C:\mfilename.ext /S /B ----- This will show the file and path in ANY directory on your C: drive, if it finds it. If you have other drives, you can do the same replacing the drive letter. When you look at the command, it looks like it only checks the file in the root, but what it does is just a bit different: it checks for a file with that name, also in the subdirectories. And, since the root of your disk has many subdirectories (well, our whole disk in fact), it looks into your full disk.

The system gives each file a different name, you have to go to the file (cd /d [file location, for example C:users\user\downloads) then find the file (dir /x), now see if it's a folder or a program, if it's a folder you use rmdir /q /s [system given filename] if it's a program use del /q /s [system given filename]. If for any reason access to remove it is denied, it's most likely a virus. For that many anti virus softwares can force remove it if you specify it to find/remove it.

Look for the option "delete files after compression" and check the box 4. click okay. 7zip will now create a zip file and it will DELETE the undeleteable file. 5. Now you can just delete the zip file and you are done

I have found that when you toggle developer settings for file locations, that sets permissions which block you from deleting files.

These are called attributes in Windows, and the one shown in the video (to override) is just one of them. Apart from the "readonly" attribute, also the "system" attribute can prevent deletion. Check with: attrib filename.exe --- Change it with the same command, see: attrib /?

I'm not sure how to type in "This PC" in the command prompt, because that's the initial location of the file. This file also freezes up my computer when I go to the location of it.

i had a problem with this and it just jammed up the file in general, but after a few minutes (without using any tutorial or doing anything) the procces somehow finished and it did everything i told it to in the past minutes i tried to move/remove it from my system.... looks like the file hang up in the CPU and lagged it a bit but its now ok

For me, it was a random audio file I extracted from a game, and it simply would not delete or be moved to another folder. This method worked after 27 minutes of waiting.

Another good way to clean up files is just boot into a live USB Distro say Linux Mint this allows you to delete view move copy or even, change partitions and its quick.

the user account is the name your screen has when you have to put the passcode to enter the computer, if you need other location than desktop just put the name of the file like for example:downloads. to find the path i have no ideea

there is another very simple way of doing this too that also works, it will notify that changing a name extension may cause it to become unstable - just rename the chosen FILE without for (example) .jpg or .mp3 and .mp4 etc. then click delete.

I'm trying to delete something in my recycle bin. When I pressed empty recycle bin it deleted all but 2 files but those pesky 2 files are still there and the empty recycle bin option is now greyed out but the items supposedly can be restored but I have no intention of restoring them because I don't want them. I get the message "The system cannot find the file specified." from cmd prompt.
