  1. Multiple folders of same name and same files inside in my d: and can not delete


    Hi,

    I just bought Microsoft Surface pro 6 and wanted to do some partition. I was changing location of a few files and at the end of it, I see there are 4 music folders created in my d: and I can not delete, rename and combine them in one. I am not a very technical person. I did partition with Paragon Partition manager which is available for free.

    My question is:

    1. How can I get rid of 4 music folders which has same files in it? I think those four folders had different names initially like video, 3d, music etc. Also, if I delete a file from one folder it is deleted from everywhere.

    2. Is Paragon Partition Manager safe to use? Multiple folders of same name and same files inside in my d: and can not delete 39b8e098-c3a4-4f28-aabd-5aaa30d07177?upload=true.png

    :)

    Gathering Names Of Multiple Files

    Is it possible to get the names of multiple files and paste them in to Notepad or Word or something?

    Not sure how clear that is - I've got a folder with lots and lots of films from holidays etc. I've spent ages renaming them all to something meaningful (Other than Mov0001, Mov0002 etc etc)
    Unfortunatly, at the time, I didn't think to copy and paste the names in to a file as I did each one. But now people want to know what things I've got - so I want a list of all the names without having to type each one out seperately.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


    Suggestion:
    1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
      x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
    2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
    3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
    4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
      NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
