    I know this video is 2 years old lol, but this video saved my butt. A game was being a pain and unfortunately one of the downloading files via Steam was corrupted and unreadable. I tried everything including trying to force delete them using the Command Prompt and nothing. Turns out, I scanned my external hard drive, it repaired itself, and finally I could delete the files I needed to restart the downloading and get back to gaming. Thank you so much for the video! Appreciate the help!

    Had a file that I could not delete. I followed your steps but had to adjust a bit, Changed attributes. Closed out of administrator command prompt and went into command prompt. Manually typed in the drive letter, I:\(beginning of file name, followed by * (for wild card).(file extension) Worked first time. It helps that I have been using computers since 1992 and still remembered dos commands. But if not for your video the damn file would still be on my system, so Thank You!

    I have a 60 GB mobile telephone memory card but now it is full. So, I copied its content to my computer. After copying the content, I tried to format the memory card, but it didn't work. So, I manually deleted all the files. After that I checked, it was empty with 60 GB space. However, I copied a few things from my computer to the card and then ejected it from the computer.When I put it in my mobile, the card is full with all its old content and nothings of new things I had copied. I repeated this deleting process several times, but the same result. I run the Diskpart command also, but didn't help.

      Hi there, thank you for your question! I would recommend trying to open up CMD and type the following command "diskpart" and press enter then type "List disk". Then type "select disk "your drive"" enter then type "attributes disk clear readonly" If that doesn't work it might be an issue with the drive itself and I would recommend taking it to a professional for further assistance.

    Had problem deleting just one map on a usb stick. Windows 10. Could delete other maps, so stick was not read only. No permissions applicable, because file system is fat32, not ntfs. In the command prompt dir on the map says "map empty", but rmdir says map "not empty"??. Reboot of laptop does not help. So, finally I tried check filesystem (in properties of drive letter). Got message "not necessary", but did it anyway. Afterwards the situation is even worse: the map is still there, but 8 other maps which were not empty and I wanted to keep, turned into files without extension. Their original contents probably lost. 😡

      Hi there, thank you for your question! Have you tried running CHKDSK to repair the drive with the following command "chkdsk "drive letter": /f /r". Is there anything specific you're trying to save from the old USB if not I would recommend just trying to format the drive but this will delete everything off the USB.

    • @reinharle7966
      @reinharle7966 5 месяцев назад

      @@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware Fortunately I had a backup and I could try again. Never fully trust storage devices and/or file managers. The usb stick was in a usb hub, and, whatever I do, I never manage to prevent it from going into power saving mode. That probably also happened during copying in this case. This resulted in a corrupt filesystem that was beyond repair. I retried with the usb stick directly into a port on the laptop and that went well. Am not sure there is a difference between chkdsk on the command prompt and checking the filesystem via the properties of the drive letter. Thx
