SeaMonkey 2.16.2, WinXP Pro SP3. I've been trying to delete (or

I've tried most on-line recommended solutions methods but none work.
Help. TIA
Are you sure SeaMonkey is completely closed? Check the Windows
Task Manager for running processes
What happens when you try to delete it? Do you get an error
message
("file in use," for example)? Or does the file reappear after you
delete it?
If you're getting file-in-use, restart the computer (I assume SM
isn't
launched at bootup?) and that should clear it.
FWIW, I have no filename beginning with "Cache" in my SM 2.16.2
profile directory
SM does not run at Startup. Task Manager shows no SM processes
running. When I go to the problem directory (Cache.Trash31234)and
click on it the error msg sez ". . . is not accessible. The file or
directory is corrupted and unreadable". Then my task bar opens and
sez "CMD.EXE -- Corrupt File" run chkdsk. I have run that process a
couple times and it does not fix it.
Sorry if I'm too wordy, novice on this end. Tnx!
This is not a SeaMonkey problem, it is a filesystem or hardware
problem. Probably either a bad spot on the disk or some file system
corruption. Is it ntfs or fat32 (not that it really matters)? When
you ran chkdsk what options did you use. Chkdsk will only fix
problems if you give it the /f switch.
Reboot in safe mode, command line only and run chkdsk /f and see if it
will fix it.
