    Cannot delete a file on an External hard drive on windows 10

    It is not entirely clear if the offending items are files or folders. To deal with either, I'll give you four commands. Two should work, two will fail.

    • Use your mouse to mark the first code line below, then press Ctrl+C to copy it. The line starts with "cmd" and ends with "pause".
    • Press the Windows key + R, then press Ctrl+V to paste the code line.
    • Press Enter.
    • Repeat Steps 1 . . 3 for the remaining three code lines.

    cmd /c rd /s /q "\\?\e:\New Downloads\Con Man (2018) [WEBRip] [1080p] [YTS.AM]" & pause

    cmd /c rd /s /q "\\?\e:\New Downloads\Con Man (2018) [WEBRip] [1080p]1 [YTS.AM]" & pause

    cmd /c del /s /q "\\?\e:\New Downloads\Con Man (2018) [WEBRip] [1080p] [YTS.AM]" & pause

    cmd /c del /s /q "\\?\e:\New Downloads\Con Man (2018) [WEBRip] [1080p]1 [YTS.AM]" & pause

    Corrupted recycle bin in C: drive Windows 10

    Hi Rick,

    Open a Command Prompt window as administrator:

    (Click your Start Button, type cmd, right click Command Prompt in the resulting list and choose 'Run as Administrator')

    Paste the following command and hit Enter:

    rd /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin

    Close the Command Prompt window and restart your system

    That's It!

    what happens when i enter rd /s /q c: on cmd?

    Windows.old Folder in C:

    "So what would I enter in the cmd line?" rd /S /Q C:\Windows.old

    "will this still remove it". Why don't you try to see if it help.
