How To Delete Corrupt / Ghost Files From Computer

Oct 2, 2012

I have this really annoying file in my library on windows 7 and I can't seem to delete it. I've tried the traditional ways of deleting it, dragging it to the the recycling bin, renaming it, copying and pasting it somewhere else and then trying, using software programs called "Unlcocker" and "CCleaner", and even going into the CMD prompt of my computer attempting to remove it from there; side note...(I'm not the best at using CMD commands and navigating through there, so maybe I've missed something). Ive also tried to run chkdisk command to see if it was some sort of registry error and I've also tried safe boot mode to see if I could simply delete it that way. The problem with this file is that my computer cant seem to find it on my hard-drive, its like the file doesn't exists, its just a icon in my pictures document.

System Files Becoming Corrupt After Leaving Computer Off All Day

Mar 8, 2011

I just built a new computer and I installed windows 7 and it worked fine all day.I shut it down the next morning before going to work and when i got home later i got tons of messages about processes not working and system files being corrupted. It wouldnt even stay turned on for long. I later reformatted and installed windows xp, it worked fine all weekend but when i turned it off before going to work on monday and came home later i got the same problem.I did several restarts while it was working and nothing bad happened, but when it was off for a long period it screwed it up on both operating systems.

Can't Delete Corrupt .net Framework File

Feb 27, 2011

When I was launching Turbo Tax I received this error message: c:windowsMicrosoft.netframeworkv3.0wpfgfx_v0300.dll is corrupt and unreadable. Please run Chkdsk utility What I have tried already:

1- Ran chkdsk utility -no issues

2-Scanned wpfgfx_v0300.dll for viruses and it came up Clean using Malwarebytes and Alvira

3- Ran a repair install on Framework .NET Framework 4 Client Profile then rebooted - still have the problem

4 - tried to simply delete the wpfgfx_v0300.dll system won't allow

5- Tried overwriting wpfgfx_v0300.dll file from a back up - system won't allow

6- Both Acronis File Shredder & Malawarebytes File Assassin SAID file removal was successful but the file is still there.

One other thing: Windows keeps wanting to run a disk check for "consistency" at boot up. I let it run but it doesn't seem to find anything. how I can delete, repair or replace this file???

Corrupt Files On USB Drive?

Dec 14, 2010

I have a bit of an odd problem, I have an external USB 640gb hard drive (Freecom ToughDrive with Password encryption software removed using Freecom tool), I use it at home (on a new dell Windows 7 64 bit PC) to store all my dataIf I take the drive into the office and plug it into my machine there (Windows XP) I can read all the files, copy them off, no problem, same with my Windows 7 (64 bit) laptop that I have at home as well and on my Mum's (windows 7) laptop.The problem is that if I open a file on any of the non home PC's (a word document or a JPG etc) if I then save changes to the file, when I try to open it on the home machine it either says it is corrupted/unreadable or that in the case of a folder of documents I copied on yesterday in the office - that the folder contents were not accessible.

I have just tried opening a word (2003) doc that I saved on the drive in the office yesterday on my home machine and word shows that it is goobledygook, I have closed the file (without saving or editing on the home machine) unplugged the drive and plugged the drive into my windows 7 laptop and when I view the folder with the word file in, the file has now gone...I have also noticed that when I have created this 'corrupted' file situation, when I then plug the drive into a different machine I get the windows "scan and fix" option. I have done that in the past and it has 'found' all the files that I corrupted on the other machines and stuck them in a $found folder as though there was actual hard drive corruption.Until about 6 months ago I had a Windows XP machine and have been working with an external USB drive for years switching it between many different machines - I thought it was the drive (I originally had a freecom toughdrive 320gb) at first so I replaced that about 2 months ago when I realised what was going on but it hasn't made any difference.

Windows 7 Won't Boot Up - EXE Files Corrupt

Feb 5, 2012

I was getting notification bubbles in W7 about many of my .exe files being corrupt, including chrome.exe and a few other programs. The notifications recommended that I run Chkdsk, so I went to the C: properties and chose Disk Cleanup, or whatever Chkdsk is called in the menu, I forget at the moment. Well, when I did that, I got yet another notification, this time saying that Chkdsk.exe is corrupt, and recommending that I run Chkdsk (lol). Well, I apparently chose to schedule Chkdsk to run on next startup. But after I shut down to let it run I booted up and after my Dell screen I get....nothing.

Just a blinking horizontal bar, looks like that little input cursor flipped on its side, in the top left corner. I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 on a USB flash drive at the moment, what can I do from here? Until this happened I've never used a Linux OS before so I'm not very savvy with it yet, but when I view my partitions on here (500GB HDD) I see that 451GB is Unknown, in a partition manager there is a red flag notification saying that I have bad sectors, which I already knew. I've heard a lot about running a program called ntfsprogs, but I can't find it. Is there any way to recover my Windows 7 boot without losing any of my data on there?

Sfc/Scannow Cannot Repair Corrupt .inf And .nlp Files

Feb 20, 2012

I have run sfc/scannow in win 7, and have followed instructions to run sfc at boot in command prompt, but nothing has solved the errors. i have saved the file sfcdetails.txt to desktop, and have extracted only the problematic parts and saved it in another file problems.txt kindly check the file, as i have attached it here.

all the files are either .inf or with .nlp extensions.windows is running fine. but i want to get rid of the problems before they become a serious issue. I have a pre-installed OEM version of win 7 basic SP 1, and i have a HP G6-1117TX laptop. There is a drive named "System", which is the active and boot-able partition, and is not the same drive where windows is installed.

Corrupt System Files Or Virus?

Apr 5, 2012

My daughter has a Gateway laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. We have 4gig RAM installed.The other day she tried to create a folder on the desktop. However, she was not able to do that and was also not able to click on any icon on the desktop at all.She restarted the computer and it seemed to fix itself. However, the next day it happened again.Does this sound like a corrupt system file or a virus? We have PC Tools Internet Security on her laptop and it says there are no viruses.Also, not sure if this is related, but the computer takes over 15 minutes to shut down. Actually, I don't know exactly how long it takes because after 15 minutes she gets frustrated and just holds down the power button to force it to shut down.There are no updates available - we have checked and it says there are none.

Corrupt Files On NEW ASUS Laptop?

Oct 4, 2012

Windows Resource Protection shows some corrupt files. I am assuming their in my Windows 7 bought two weeks ago. Where they come from I dont know or care. How do I clean this all up without dumping all my files and programs? It may be preventing my HP printer from scanning, printing yes, scanning no. I have been on the phone for hours with HP, ASUS and today Microsoft, they told me to run a program "cmd.exe " which showed the corrupt files?

Corrupt Windows 7 Pro 64-bit Installation Files?

Nov 14, 2012

So I have a weird situation.A friend of mine has somehow bricked her computer. She is not the most computer savvy person and I have no idea how her computer got to this point, but the computer no longer recognizes her original windows installation. There is no way to upgrade or repair from the original installation as it does not appear. Her computer will not boot except from the installation disk. Her drives are visible in the command prompt. The windows folders and whatever are all there. There is approximately 7 gigs of stuff on her drive, but when you go to select the partition on which to install win 7, it shows it as being 100% empty. I tried installing it on that one first, it got through copying and expanding, immediately after reaching 100% expanded, when it tries to start the next phase, it throws me a corrupt installation files error. It appears to be different each time. So i created and reformatted a new partition and attempted to install to that one and I'm having the same problem. The disk is a real win 7 pro x64 disk, it is in pristine condition and was opened only yesterday when i went to install the OS so i don't think the disk is the problem, however i'm downloading the Windows 7 iso from the microsoft website and am gonna give that a shot. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?Oh yes, and it doesn't seem to want to let me run the Chkdsk utility, it always tells me that i need to reboot and run it from the installation disk which is what i have been doing

Windows 7 HP Boot Files Missing Or Corrupt

Sep 17, 2011

I have an Advent Roma 2001 configured, in PC World style, with a "recovery partition" alongside the system partition and, after resolving a hard disk problem, I found that the machine would not start/boot Windows 7. clearly some necessary files are missing or corrupted, but the normal system recovery tools have not solved the problem(s). I'm familiar with the process for resurrecting XP, but not its counterpart for Windows 7 the files and steps for doing this are rather different. it would seem that pretty much everything else is in place on the hard disk, but certain recovery programs report "0" Windows installations when Win 7 is still in place where it was before the disk problem, e.g. it is available to be selected by the main recovery/startup program...this prog can "see" it, but can't access/boot it.I can breathe some life into this anaesthetised device sooner rather than later...I may as well work my way through the whole lot rather than using a trial and error method that might take a long time.

Can Replace Corrupt Windows 7 Pro System Files

Nov 19, 2011

I am using Windows 7 Professional SP1 32 bit on a desktop machine. I run ESET NOD32 Anti-virus 5.0 and Comodo Free Firewall in the background. I do a weekly manual scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Super AntiSpyware. Malwarebytes has never detected a threat and Super AntiSpyware detects about 130 threats each week. My start up folder has 5 programs that start up and run in the background. Recently the machine has become very sluggish, some programs take a very long time to open and when I am using various programs they sometimes stop responding but sometimes they recover by themselves if I wait long enough.A couple of days ago I ran sfc /scannow from an elevated command prompt. After it ran it said that it could not fix several corrupted Windows files. I looked in the log file and I didn't understand what I was reading and I couldn't tell which files were corrupt or how to fix them. I ran sfc /scannow a total of 3 times rebooting after each time and each time it told me it could not fix several corrupted Windows files.

I was surprised that when I ran sfc /scannow that it did not ask me to insert the Windows 7 installation CD so it could replace the corrupted files. When I would run sfc /scannow on my Windows XP Pro machines I always had to insert the XP installation CD so it could copy files from the CD into the machine.Today I booted the machine with the Windows install CD and selected "Repair". The "System Recovery Options" screen appeared. My choices were:

- Startup repair
- System restore to an earlier point in time
- System image recovery
- Windows memory diagnostics
- Command prompt

The machine starts up OK so there were no choices that apply to repairing Windows. When I was running XP Pro the system disk would actually do a repair action.I am thinking that the cause of the sluggish, some programs taking a very long time to open and various programs sometimes stop responding may be caused because of the corrupt Windows file sfc /scannow couldn't fix.Is there a way to replace the corrupt Windows 7 corrupt files that sfc /scannow says it cannot fix? The other option is to do a complete clean install of Windows from scratch. Not too much fun as I will have re-install all of my software and re-option everything.

Program Files (x86) Folder Is Corrupt And Unreadable

Dec 22, 2009

I have a dual boot machine, Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and Kubuntu 9.10. Everybody was getting along just fine.

Today I booted from Windows, no problem; booted Kubuntu, no problem; then later rebooted to Windows. I now get a message that my Program Files (x86) folder is corrupt and unreadable. [While in Kubuntu I did nothing other than look at the list of files using Kubuntu. No file was opened or modified.]

- I tried dropping to a command prompt to run chkdsk (as recommended by the error screen) but cmd is corrupted

- So I booted off the Windows 7 disk and was able to run chkdsk - no problems found (with the /f and later the /r switches)

When Windows 7 opens, all my 32-bit programs are unusable, and I can't explore the Program Files (x86) folder. Properties lists it as 0 bytes. However, when I browse the folder from a Kubuntu boot, everything seems normal and is accessible.

I (gently) used some Kubuntu ntfs tools (such as ntfsfix to flag the volume as dirty so Windows would check/repair the volume on boot) but got nowhere. [I have no idea if this is useful, but I included the ntfsinfo output from both my Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders.]

Files Corrupt After Copy To Usb Hard Disk

Feb 13, 2010

Lately I had problems playing video-files (hd content, mkv container) on my WD HD TV. Turned out that the files were corrupted when after copying to the usb disk. First I was afraid my Intel X25-m was the culprit, but windiff proved that the error occurred after copying, and there was a difference between the file on my SSD and the copy on the usb disk.

After trying all the USB ports on my laptop (MSI pr200, T7700, 4GB, Windows 7 HP 64), the CABLE proved to be the culprit. I use different cables, the one causing problems was an old motorola razr....After trying the cable that came with the 500GB Verbatim USB disk the problem is gone, and windiff says the files are equal.Just to let you searchers know (fingers crossed!): issue seems to be resolved by using a good cable.

It seems that my computer cant run any exe files I download from the internet. They all download just fine, but when I open them I get a corrupt message reading

"Installer integrity check has failed. Common causes include incomplete download and damaged media. Contact the installer's author to obtain a new copy."

More information at: [URL]

In some cases I just get a message saying file is corrupt. I've tried turning my antivirus and my firewall off and that hasn't worked either, I've also ran updates and everything. The program steam also cant seem to download anything without pausing every second.

Recover Files From A Corrupt Unreadable NTFS Harddrive?

Jan 31, 2012

I'm in desperate need to recover things from my corrupted D drive. When I click on it, it says D: is not accessible. The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable.When I restart it always does chkdsk for that drive, but it can't repair the corrupt master file table, and it's the same result where the drive is unreadable. I used the Getdata recover my files software to recover the drive. It didn't find the things I desperately need, and I noticed a bunch of files it recovered is now corrupt.The most important thing I need to recover is a windows movie maker project that I've spent hours upon hours upon hours on for a music video. I so desperately need that .mswmm file. This software found just about all of my windows movie maker projects except that one, just my luck.

The second most important thing I need is my Adobe Audition session files along with the wav's for the sessions. I have a new computer I should be getting today, and my friend will be over in 2 days. I need to figure something out quickly cause he will need to format the drive which will make it lose everything. He is pretty sure that the drive will be unreadable on his laptop which he's bringing over.It recovered 2 936gb files and a 465 gb file with no file extensions that were labeled $BadClus~$Bad_1 $BadClus~$Bad_3
