moved files to a folder and now cannot delete or move them
hi, i moved a folder into another folder to hide it and now i cant read it, move it or delete it. . the folder, i found out, was a temporary folder made for windows update. the reason it was there i guess is because i aborted an install of the updates.
hi,
i moved a folder into another folder to hide it and now i cant read it, move it or delete it.. the folder, i found out, was a temporary folder made for windows update. the reason it was there i guess is because i aborted an install of the updates. the reason i moved this folder there was because it had a cryptic name (like d2o3ss22320ad) which was very little interesting to open for others and it contained almost no files. also i couldnt delete it.
i tried to turn off the write protection (dunno if this is the right term in english xp, but you find it via right click/properties/attributes) and delete/move the folder, but this didnt work. the copy protection was on immediately after.
help! do i need to format the drive?
