What is this character and how do you type it in DOS...?
>> £ <<
I downloaded a game tonite, didn't like it, and tried to delete it.
It wasn't a standard install, and had no uninstall...you just delete the folder.
(OK it was a cracked game with no install...just an unpack...please...no lectures...just help please...)
While trying to empty the recycle bin, it said it couldn't find some weird named file, and wouldn't let me empty it.
I went into the game folder, and started deleting folders one by one.
I got to a folder with what appeared to be some sort of texture files, with a crapload of 'em in there.
They looked like they had the same sort of name as what the recycle bin wouldn't delete.
So I started deleting them, column by column...one by one...
till I got to two of them that just won't delete.
When I try to delete them, move them, rename them, change the properties...I get this error message...
"Cannot Delete File
Windows is unable to find the file.
This item might have already been deleted or moved.
Press F5 to refresh the view of this folder."
I refreshed, rebooted, rebooted and tried in safemode...
Ran my antivirus and adware/spyware progs...
NOTHING makes these two files go away, and windows is saying it can find them...
WTF...???
So I did some reaserch on the net, and I read that you need to delete it in DOS.
I don't know DOS...but seem to remember this happening a few yrs. ago, and someone talking me thru a "deltree" (?) in DOS.
So I got like C:>DEL Foldername\filename.extension...
but the filename has that damned weird symbol/character typed above in it's name that I don't know how to type.
(I had to copy and paste t from the actual filename.)
Anyone up and awake out there...?
Please help...???
Thanks!
