Hi Al; If I remember correctly, these corrupted files have a tilda or some kind of sign at the front of their title. If you press your F2 key with the file in question highlighted and delete the sign out of the name then press enter I think the file can now be deleted. Pressing the F2 on a highlighted file allows you to change / alter the whole name / title or any part of it. After you have made the changes to your title / name press enter to save the changes and save them. Hope, and I do mean hope, this helps. Take care. Mike

Is there a way to delete a directory and/or file that has become corrupt and window's will not allow one to delete it? This is an old backup file within a directory on a back up drive. I know I could re format the drive but then I would need to copy all the good data back and that is considerable. Any suggestions?
