Hi Mark.

Firstly, it sounds like the folder structures referenced in the NTFS data stream have been corrupted. Perform a check disk scan and ensure that both recover bad sectors and fix filing system errors automatically are checked. You can perform the disk check from the properties of the drive under the tools tab.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Subject: [access-uk] Deleting corrupted folders


I have several folders that I copied onto a machine over the network and
these have become corrupted. I can see them in the folder list and they can be moved if they are within a folder, but cannot be moved, opened or deleted
individually.  They are showing as 380 bytes in total and as 4kb on disk,
but all should be 60MB or more.  When I try to open them or delete them I
get an error message saying access is denied but no specific reason why. I
have them all in a single folder and they take up almost no space on the
drive, but I would like rid of them.

Any ideas how I can delete these, please?

XP home, by the way.
