Try this in a Command Prompt (which you call "DOS"):

1. Navigate to the parent folder of the problem folder.
2. Type this command:
dir /x {Enter}
3. Make a note of the 8.3 folder name.
4. Type this command:
rd /s /q 8.3_folder name {Enter}

The '?' char can not be display here but it shows in file explorer and
command prompt. It is ↔(html char). Because of this '?' char the folder can
not be deleted under the command prompt. What should I do?

You may be able to delete it from a Command Prompt with
a wild card, e.g. like so: del 070*.jpg.

Since it's in the Temporary Internet Files folder, you should be able to
delete it in IE, along with everything else in there, by going to Tools >
Internet Options > Delete Files, checking the box labeled "Delete all
offline content", and clicking OK.

Try deleting the folder and all its contents at the command prompt:

RD "\\?\C:\Path to Stubborn Folder and File" /s /q

If the path is long or has strange characters you can drag it from
Explorer.exe to the command prompt, that will avoid typing errors. If
you drag it from Explorer.exe to the command prompt watch for the
quotation marks, you only want one set of quotation marks in the command.

rd /s /q 8.3_folder name {Enter}

 

[Guest]

sorry, tried utility again it showed but it still can not be deleted,error
code-123 filename,directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Yes, I use drag or copy and paste in property of command prompt. The second
link is unlock some file, not the case. I download utility from first link.
When I open the utility, it will not show the folder which contains the
strange file. This is the file:

C:\...\Contaent.IE5\M7E58X22\ 070ñ27_1a[1â†.jpg

Try these:

Tried rd command. it said file name incorrect(because of this strange char).
The system has only one admin account which I use. If I can type this strange
char(& larr in file name I think I can delete this file. But how do I type
this char?

:


Try deleting the folder and all its contents at the command prompt:

RD "\\?\C:\Path to Stubborn Folder and File" /s /q

If the path is long or has strange characters you can drag it from
Explorer.exe to the command prompt, that will avoid typing errors. If
you drag it from Explorer.exe to the command prompt watch for the
quotation marks, you only want one set of quotation marks in the command.

Have you tried logging on as a different user with administrator
privileges and deleting the entire TIF folder?




Tried this first time. everything is deleted except this file.
any suggestion.

Since it's in the Temporary Internet Files folder, you should be able to
delete it in IE, along with everything else in there, by going to Tools >
Internet Options > Delete Files, checking the box labeled "Delete all
offline content", and clicking OK.




I tried wild card either ? or * it still can not be deleted. This char is
?(html char) or &#8592(numerical char reference) or 2190(unicode?)

This link will show this char

You may be able to delete it from a Command Prompt with
a wild card, e.g. like so: del 070*.jpg.




The '?' char can not be display here but it shows in file explorer and
command prompt. It is ?(html char). Because of this '?' char the folder

can


not be deleted under the command prompt. What should I do?

:





Hello!

How can I delete this 070?27_1a[1?.jpg file in internet temp

folder?


It


can not be deleted under the dos. How do I input unicode char from

keyboard?


Thx


Try this in a Command Prompt (which you call "DOS"):

1. Navigate to the parent folder of the problem folder.
2. Type this command:
dir /x {Enter}
3. Make a note of the 8.3 folder name.
4. Type this command:
rd /s /q 8.3_folder name {Enter}

Run a chkdsk on the disk and try the Unix/Posix rm.exe utility.
