Hi:
A MAC using client sent me a USB drive with 6 zip files: 4 of the six unziped fine and created folders with the right files in them. 2 of the zip files created folders with files but when trying to open the files I got a "file is
no
longer located"... and then the path.
I wss able to delete the files in the folder, but can not delete the folder. The folder is on my desktop but I have been unable to delete or rename it
even
though I can open the folder with windows explorer. I have booted into safe mode command prompt and tried using the del command from the command line,
but
still nothing.
I've checked the attributes but no success there.
Any Ideas.
TIA
MK

There might be an obscure character in the name that the system thinks ends the
name, so it finds no match in that software.
A delete or rename with a wildcard (whatever the DOS for it is) might work; though probably the folder is okay and you only have to rename it to something legal.
linux for finding obscure characters might be
ls | od -c
(Cygwin would let you do that, if you install it.)
