Weird folder/filenames that will not delete There is a folder on my WD 250 GB Passport Flash drive who's properties show it to be using 157 GB of memory. The Read Only attribute was set, unchecked it. I tried to delete this folder with Ubuntu 9.10 it deleted some of the files but could not delete the rest, i tried to give full permission but errors occures whenever i try to, anyways now tha **** has occupied 87GB of space, most of the files are hidden and i can not even rename these files The folder's name is "PSE Catalog v6 backup" and I created it when I upgraded Photoshop Elements from v5 to v6. The folder contains 3 sub folders and 7 files, all with names that contain strings of weird characters. The dates connected with these folders and files are also weird; like 2016, 2070, 2021, 2084, 1984, etc. The file types are weird too. The strange thing is that when I try to delete them I get this fatal error: "Error Deleting File of folder": "Cannot delete [followed by a string of weird characters]: Cannot find the specified file. Make sure you specify correct path and file name.". There are 4 folders in the folder in question and they all have strings of weird characters for names. They are all empty. I know this from checking their properties, because they will not open. When I try to open them I get another fatal error message: "G:/PSE Catalog v6 backup" that says: "G:/PSE Catalob v6 backup [followed by a string of weird charactors] is not accessible. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect". The files in the folder are large, 5 in the GB range the other 2 in the 200MB range. There were hundreds of image files in the folder too, but I was able to delete them. My question is: How do I delete them??? In the worse case scenario I could reformat the drive, but does this type of drive have application software on it, that the drive uses?
