I was just recently copying a few files over to another hard drive that I have that I use for storage, and for some reason why I was copying these files, the hard drive cut out or something and the transfers stopped.

Thats fine and all so I unplugged the hard drive, replugged it back in and started over... The files that were currently transfering when it crapped out where already there on the new hard drive even though it cut out, I figured they would be corrupted so I started a new transfer to copy over top of the originals and it wouldnt let me.

It now says:
Cannot Copy *filename here*: The file or directory is corrupted or unreadable.

I thought okay I just delete the files, when I tried that it wouldnt let me and it gave me this error message:

Cannot Delete *filename here*: The file or directory is corrupted or unreadable.

I have tried using shift delete, I have tried unplugging and replugging the hard drive in again, restarting the computer and nothin seems to work.

I just want to know if somehow I can delete these files so they arent there anymore and arent taking up what could be useful space. I know I could clean off and reformat the hard drive but I want to avoid doing that if at all possible, any help is appreciated. thanks.
