    Can't delete files on HP SimpleSave


    Hi, I have and HP SimpleSave 1TB it plugs in to the USB. I recently tried to delete some files and folders but am unable to do so. I only have files and folders, no Windows backup or restore points.

    When I try to delete a file or folder I get this message, "Can't read from the source file or disk". Which is strange because I can open files.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    Bishop,
    Please attach snippet as explained here.

    HOW TO POST A SNAPSHOT OF DISK MANAGEMENT DISPLAY
    Run disk management:
    WIN | type DISKMGMT.MSC | ENTER
    WIN
    is the key with the wavy flag.

    Maximize the output of Disk Management:
    ALT-Spacebar key combo (this pops up a menu) followed by X key (selects Maximize) |
    Drag the field separators (such as between Status and Capacity) to show entire field. This is very important, otherwise, needed info is not visible.

    Make a snapshot:
    WIN | type SNIPPING | ENTER | New
    Drag the cursor around the area you want to snip.
    File | Save as | select save location and name | Save

    Post the snapshot:
