File or directory is corrupted and unreadable

[Sheridan]

I'm getting this message on trying to access/delete a couple of folder son one of my 2012 R2 servers. I can't deleted it, take ownership or anything!

 

Is there a more powerful delete utility anyone has tried to get rid of files like these? I used to use Zap back in the 2003 server days but I thought 2012 would be able to do this!

Install 7zip and try via the 7zip file manager. This often works for me

Silly question have you tried through CMD (running as administrator)

Unlocker usually does the trick for us.

Is it worth running a check disk (with the "fix" flag) ... and possibly doing it safe mode....then reboot and try again?
