How to delete corrupt folder?
Solution 1:
- Look at the disk properties from Windows Explorer
- Go to the Tools tab
- Choose Error Checking
- You will need to reboot to allow CHKDSK to run at startup
- The corrupted directory will either be restored to a readable state or deleted
Alternatively, the command line approach is CHKDSK C: /B (replace C: with your drive as appropriate)
Once run, you can tidy up as you wish.
Solution 2:
I used the Puppy Linux bootable CD, used its file manager to locate the file and folder, clicked on the file, deleted it, then the folder. It worked great
