JAGnLA All-Star Member people pay me NOT to get naked 1944 Posts 2/04	Posted - Aug 21 2005 : 1:00AM Okay, this is pretty trivial, but I am far from an expert and this is beginning to irritate me: Just for shits and giggles, I have recently been collecting the best length & quality vids and vid-clips of various celebrity sex vids to hit the internet. Jenna from Survivor, Tonya Harding wedding night tape, Paris Hilton...dunno why, but I'm burning them all. When I attempted to delete all these files post-burning, one refused to go! It is a clip of Janet Jackson's boobie-flash at the Super Bowl, and I get no message when I attempt to delete it - it just doesn't do anything. I have since noticed that I cannot rename the file from its rather long file name. Neither can I copy or move the file - same results, no message - just no action! The file also does not play When I attempt to delete the entire folder it is housed within, I get the following message: cannot delete Janet J~.mpeg : cannot find the specified file Make sure you specify the correct path and file name Everything I have attempted to do to move, copy, alter, or delete this frigging unconquerable file has failed - can anyone suggest a remedy?

vodka tonic coolest cucumber who 1243 Posts 11/02	Posted - Aug 21 2005 : 3:55PM It happens to me every once a while, I use a free tool called MoveOnBoot by Gipo utilities which works all the time. You should find it easily. [Link]

willywilly Member Activated Member 662 Posts 2/05	Posted - Aug 21 2005 : 6:12PM For all the Windows gurus: Is it possible that the filename is something that Windows just can't handle? Notice the filename in his original post. I used to have something like this happen on occasion. Can't remember now what os I was using. I think it was that if I saved the file to a disk, then used that disk in a Windows system, it could show me the file, but couldn't do anything with it. I seem to remember that I had to find it from a dos box with dir/a/o/p , and that Windows would let me rename it from the dos box. That surprised me. After it was renamed, then I could do whatever I wanted to do with it, from Windows. It has been a while - sorry if this is no help. [Link]
JAGnLA All-Star Member people pay me NOT to get naked 1944 Posts 2/04	Posted - Aug 22 2005 : 3:03AM Thanks for the help, all. This is becoming increasingly frustrating. I DL'ed MoveOnBott , but it couldn't help. You have to browse to or drag and drop the file into the MoveOnBoot window - it will not be moved and when I browse to it I cannot open it in the window or anything like that! AAARRRRgggghh! Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of how to work within DOS...oh bother! [Link]
Hardware All-Star Member Your other left 14594 Posts 3/02	Posted - Aug 22 2005 : 3:52AM Did you right click on the drive, select Properties - Tools - Check Now - Automatically fix file system errors? If that didn't work, then as for the DOS fix, do you know how to get to this file going through 'My Computer, Local Disk( C:), etc? If you do, then we can walk you through the DOS fix. Whether or not it works is another matter. [Link]
jamesn Senior Member Cambridge, MA 750 Posts 1/04	Posted - Aug 22 2005 : 6:12AM it's related to how fxp groups "tag" stuff in a way it's harder to see for guys managing ftp sites. not important or destructive to your computer---it's just a way of confusing explorer with stuff it handles poorly like the the squiggles you described. i'd look up "delete fxp data", it's supposedly pretty good and will let you work in windows if you need to.

Whether or not it works is another matter. Click to expand Yes, I did - and it went through a defrag-like system check and fix...rather lengthy, but no change! If its possibly, I'll try thr DOS fix, as I can locate the file via explorer or through 'My Computer.' [Link]

Hurrab Member Denmark, EU 256 Posts 3/03	Posted - Aug 22 2005 : 11:53AM A few weeks ago I had a folder on my FTP space that was all fucked up; something went wrong when I uploaded it, and when I tried to delete it, I got a dialogue that said "File or folder not found / This folder doesn't exist" or something like that. When I tried to upload another folder with the same name, I was told that it was impossible because there already was a folder by that name - very frustrating indeed! However, now the corrupt folder is gone, and everything seems to be ok. I don't know what happened neither when the upload went wrong nor when the folder finally disappeared. [Link]

Click to expand OK, then you want to write down the name of the file and of each folder that you open on your way to where this file is located. For example, let's say that the file is in the Hot Babes folder and you get there by opening My Computer, then the C: drive, then the Documents and Settings folder, then the My Pictures folder. Having written down the names of the folders and the order in which you opened them, you would go to the Start Menu, select Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt. This will open up a black window with a line of text in it that says something like: C:\WINNT> What follows the "C:\" part varies, so don't worry about that. At this point you can type in commands to change to the directory where this file is located. Still using our example, you would type in these commands, hitting Enter after each one: cdcd Documents and Settings cd My Pictures cd Hot Babes At this point, the line of text would say: C:\Documents and Settings\My Pictures\Hot Babes> indicating that you are in the Hot Babes folder and you would be ready to attempt to rename the file. Let's say the file name is hello!~MY.name_is.txt and we're going to rename it to hello.txt. The command is ren hello!~MY.name_is.txt hello.txt At that point, you would return to Windows and refresh the folder the file is in to see if that worked. If so, then you could try removing it again. Or you can try the program jamesn suggested, which you can download from here. As always, use at your own risk. [Link]
JAGnLA All-Star Member people pay me NOT to get naked 1944 Posts 2/04	Posted - Aug 23 2005 : 1:39AM Hardware , I'm trying it out, but I keep getting errors in syntax, etc. - when I have come to the correct folder and am renaming the file, is it "ren old file name new file name" with no punctuation between the file names. - also, I'm assuming I hit "Enter" after doing this... Again, thanks for your assistanceguys! [Link]
JAGnLA All-Star Member people pay me NOT to get naked 1944 Posts 2/04	Posted - Aug 23 2005 : 1:48AM Okay, last try at this: The last time I tried, when I hit enter I got a message saying the system could not find the file named and it listed the whole entire long file name as it is listed now ...previously, no mention of this long-ass file name had been made. [Link]

Hardware All-Star Member Your other left 14594 Posts 3/02	Posted - Aug 23 2005 : 2:56AM No punctuation between the file names, just a space. At any rate, since that doesn't appear to be working I suggest you download the FXP Data Deletor program and give it a whirl. [Link]
