Windows 10: Corrupted files and incorrect recovery key

I have a couple corrupted files on a new USB drive. It doesn't let me delete them so I looked up videos and they said to enter Safe Mode in order to delete them. When I try to enter safe mode, it asks me to enter my recovery key. I followed the instructions to find it, which I only have one, and entered it only for it to say its incorrect. I've reentered it numerous times, restarted my computer, updated it, let it "rest" for a few days... literally everything I could do and nothing is working. My corrupted files are also three empty folders in my documents. Please help!!!

Corrupted file RAR

If the archive has been created using WinRAR, why don't you try WinRAR itself? It has a built-in repair feature for repairing corrupted archive (ZIP as well as RAR). Follow the steps given below:

• Open WinRAR application in your system.
• Now click on File tab > Open or simply press Ctrl+O.
• A small window "Find Archive" will pop up. Locate the corrupt RAR archive from your system directory and select it.
• Now click Open button.
• Click Tools tab > Repair archive or simply press Alt+R.
• Again a small window "Repairing File name.rar" will pop up.
• Now click Browse to select a location to save the repaired archive.
• Check the box "Treat the corrupt archive as RAR" and click OK.
• WinRAR will start repairing of corrupt RAR archive. Once it gets completed click Close.

I hope the above steps will help you repair the corrupted RAR archive.

Thanks.
