How to delete files that cannot be deleted (1)

How to delete a file that cannot be deleted:

Many friends have encountered such a situation: the file name in the computer is a garbled file (hereinafter referred to as garbled file, note: the file name is garbled instead of the file) Content garbled), they cannot be opened, renamed, deleted, or moved. Looking at the file attributes, the system shows no file types, and they generally take up a lot of disk space.

This article focuses on the causes of these garbled file name files and how to delete these annoying garbled files.

First, the reason for the garbled file name file

After careful analysis and research, I think the garbled file is mainly caused by the following reasons:

1. Hard disk track Or an error occurred in the sector, causing the file name to be garbled. Such a file cannot be deleted normally.

2. Sometimes the delete file operation executed in Windows just deletes the related file information in the file allocation table on the disk, and does not actually delete the file.

3. Incorrect operation. When using the BT download software, the download progress stops at 99%, and the file name is modified by itself. Since the BT download is not downloaded in sequence, this may result in incorrect file index information, resulting in garbled files.

4. After converting the partition format using the disk tool PQmagic (such as from NTFS to FAT32), the file name garbled. Because PQmagic's support for Chinese file names is not very good, it will cause garbled Chinese file names after finishing the partitions, and even the contents of the files will be garbled.

5. The file name caused by the virus is garbled. The reason for this garbled file is more complicated. Generally, the virus is not completely caused by the virus itself or the virus removal software.

6. Mobile storage devices such as flash memory and mobile hard disk have garbled files, especially mobile phone memory cards. This situation is mostly caused by improper use of mobile storage devices, such as direct removal of devices. However, sometimes a bad quality flash or mobile hard disk will also have garbled files, which is a quality problem of the mobile device itself. For example, when writing data to the memory card, an error occurs, and a garbled file appears. At the same time, the prompt "Windows delays writing failure, Windows cannot save all data for x:/windows/windowsupdate.log file" appears in the lower right corner of the system. This is mostly Since the memory card has been damaged.

Second, delete the file name of the garbled file

There are many reasons for the garbled file. After careful study, I found the following solutions:

1 Try to rename the file if it can be renamed. Run cmd to open the task manager, end the explorer process, switch to the cmd command prompt and enter the "Del file name" to delete the file. This method is only applicable to files that can be renamed. Close all other unrelated programs when you are working.

2. If the system prompts "Access Denied" when renaming the file, run the "chkdsk /f" command in cmd mode to check for disk errors and fix them.

If a disk error is found, the general error can be fixed. After the repair is completed, the garbled file can be deleted.

Note: Sometimes, because the partition of the garbled file is the system area, the system will prompt "Another process is calling the volume. Do you want to check the volume at the next boot?" I suggest running chkdsk in this way. Command, use the Windows installation disk to boot the system, when selecting the new installation windows interface, press "R" to repair the existing system, enter the command prompt state, run the "chkdsk /f" command here. I have tested it so that it works much better than the cmd mode under Windows. Then run the "fixmbr" command to repair the partition table. It can also fix other problems in the system.

3. If you still can't delete the garbled file after the previous step, you can use our most commonly used WinRAR compression tool to delete it. The specific method is to compress the garbled file and select the "Remove source file after compression" option. In this way, the general garbled file can be deleted.

4. But if the file's disk file index block has been destroyed, then WinRAR is no way, this time you must borrow Ghost this powerful tool. First make the partition with garbled files into an image file, then use Ghost explorer to browse the image file, find the garbled file and delete it, and then restore the image file to the source partition. This method can generally be

to solve the problem that the garbled file name cannot be deleted.

5. If you are installing Windows and Linux dual systems, there is a solution.

First, start the system with Linux, use the "mount" command to load the FAT32 partition with garbled files and specify codepage=cp437, you can see the full Chinese file name and directory. Then, use the "cp -r" command to copy the garbled file to the Linux partition; then use the "umount" command to unmount the FAT32 partition, reload with the "mount" command and specify codepage = cp936, with "iocharset=cp936 cp -r" The command copies the garbled file back. This method can recover partitions completely losslessly.

Tip: For garbled files, do not use file shredding, unlocker, optimization master and other file deletion tools. These tools have no effect on garbled files, and may even cause new errors on the disk.
