Recently I find files unremovable on my ntfs partition.

Files like the following:

c:\document and settings\administrators\local settings\temporary internet
files\content.ie5\ghaisufg\__Wbca;bveybv;agf3pftgqfeq7pagf3q6fpq3gfq68pfgqw3
f68pqftq38pfgq3f68pq3ftgq3ftqpftqw3fggbaylgcvaeyvaelsfleat

When I tried to map "c:\document and settings\administrators\local
settings\temporary internet files\content.ie5\ghaisufg\" to, say, z: drive
and tried to remove
"z:\__Wbca;bveybv;agf3pftgqfeq7pagf3q6fpq3gfq68pfgqw3f68pqftq38pfgq3f68pq3ft
gq3ftqpftqw3fggbaylgcvaeyvaelsfleat" again, I can remove the file.

So it sounds like it has something to do with the too long path/filename.

The problem is I have over 1000 problem files all in different folders... I
am not going to spend 100 hours just to remove them one by one.

Any suggestion here?

Regards,
Jeremy.
 
Same problem here. I`ve tried "chkdsk c: /f /v /x" and after checking it reported "Drive C is clean"...

before and after that, ive tried to delete/rename.. both operations were not possible..
