    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.

    flash drive not showing up after i deleted some folder which was already inside it

    Deleted folder on flash drive

    I erroneously deleted a folder on a flash drive. The folder contains ~ 22 files (Word docs and pdf's). Can I restore it to the flash drive?

    Thanks, John
