Un-deletable files :-\

Northwings · 10-17-2004, 01:40 AM

For the past year i've defraged and there's only been two files that can never be deleted

Fragments File Size Files that cannot be defragmented
2 11 KB \Documents and Settings\Louis\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\4LQVGDIN\search[1].
3 75 KB \Documents and Settings\Louis Delossantos\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\WPUJC5IN\002-5519435-6692800[1].

Those are the file's I went into safe mode and that didn't help. Anyone know how to delete them? Thanks alot

Okay I typed in Command than I typed in C:\ than I typed in the path but it says...C:\documents" is not a reconginzed as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. What I'd do wrong :-\

DOS commands don't accept long filenames (especially those with spaces in it), so instead of "My Documents" you must type "MYDOCU~1" (the first 6 characters from the filename without spaces and "~1" at the end).
So your paths would look like these:
\DOCUME~1\Louis\LOCALS~1\TEMPOR~1\Content.IE5\4LQV GDIN\
\DOCUME~1\LOUISD~1\LOCALS~1\TEMPOR~1\Content.IE5\W PUJC5IN\

Okay I got it to work sep everytime I get the path, I type del 002-5519435-6692800[1] and it says it can't find the file, but I can look at it in normal windows, any help O_o.

The 8.3 filename format applies to that file too...

To find out what's its short name, in that folder type in "dir 002* /x".
