I'm assuming I'm supposed to type this somewhere?


But where? What's a wild card?

 

BTW, "Welchia was not found on your computer." I guess that's a good thing... But that also means I have a different problem.

 

You have to get to the command line of your windows XP system. To do this you need to do

START>RUN

then type in CMD in the box and click OK

before this though make sure the only files you want to delete in that directory are the ones giving you problems.

I need to know what directory those files are in something like:

Crogram filesmovie_maker

When you get that directory and you have the command line window open then you will need to change to that directory manually:

cd Cath to file

then issue the command

del *.*

this will delete everything in that directoy

I am assuming that you are using Windows XP correct?

 

Yes, WinXP.

I tried that, but it only works for the C: directory? I have the corrupted files saved on my D: drive.

 

Did you get to the command line?

you should see something like this:

C:windows>

that is when you would issue the command

cd D:directory to file

then your promt will look like

D:directory of file>

then you can do del*.*

MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE DIRECTORY

if you issue the del *.* in the wrong directory everything in that directory will be gone

 

it starts off under


Cocuments and SettingsAlex>


so I type cd D:... but it just keeps returning to the original line






the title bar says C:WINDOWSSystem32cmd.exe

 

OK what folder on your D: drive is the file under?

If you can get to this then you are in the right spot

Cocuments and SettingsAlex>

once you get here

you type

cd DIRECTORY THE FILE IS IN

CD=CHANGE DIRECTORY

to get a list of the directories on your D: drive type dir and hit enter

What folders do you click on once you bring up your D: drive to get to the file? This is called the path. We need the path to this file to manually delete it.

Is this file or files the only thing in its directory (folder)?

Tell me what you would normally click on in Windows XP to access this file. This should give my your path.

 

Ya man, I got that part.

It's under


D:Alex's Stufftemp



It ain't working though. I'm telling you, it won't access my D: directory.

I can navigate the C: directory just fine, but not the D: directory.

 

Do you get an error message?

When you type:

cd D:Alex's Stufftemp
do you get an error or do you get

D:Alex's Stufftemp>

 

I just tried what you suggested S2K_LA and the file is gone, thank you so much, I have not been able to get rid of it for a few weeks!
