    Can't Delete from 'Videos'


    Running Win 10 on an SP4.

    I have a bunch of .mp4 files in my "users\Videos" subdirectory. I cut-and-pasted them to a new location.

    They are in the new location.

    They still appear - but with a "generic" (i.e., not "thumbnail") icon. They are not playable ("We can't get to this file... 0xc101aa"), and I can not delete them.

    When I try in Explorer, they disappear. Then reappear. When I try in Command Prompt (Admin), I get "Access is denied".

    I don't have any automatic syncing set up (and this is nowhere near my OneDrive directories).

    I believe the word I'm looking for is "Aargggh!"

    :)

    why two places for videos? (N95 8gb)

    Maybe the video is not compatible.

    What kind of video is it?, where did you get it from?, also what do you mean you Can't delete it?, use the file manager to delete it.

    What I meant by "Videos" and "My Videos" where not the Gallery and Video Centre applications but rather the actual folders in the Mass Memory e:\Videos\ and e:\My Videos\

    Can't Delete from 'Videos'

    Have you installed any folder protection software?
    For example, if your video files are protected with a software like "Protect My Folders", they will be hidden from Windows Explorer and you're also unable to access them from Command Prompt.
