Problem deleting files on external drive
Running win7 64bit
Seagate 3tb expansion drive.. usb3
I've had problems several times, deleting files on the external drive mentioned above.
Finally had enough of it, and wanted to see if anyone here had an idea what is going on
Here is an example: navigate to the drive. Right click a folder and press delete.
I get an error dialog that says:
===================================
An unexpected error is keeping you from deleting the folder. If you contine
to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this
problem.
Error Ox80070091 The directory is not empty.
====================================
The error message seems to indicate that its common
not to be able to delete a directory because something is in it
---- When did that start?---
Anyway, proceeding into the directory it turn out to be an
`System Volume Information' directory inside causing the problem.
I right clicked for it's properties.. selected `Security' tab and right away get a message that the
properties are `disordered' and gives me an opportunity to press a <reorder> button.
I do that, but then it won't let me save the change, and complains of disordered properties.
So the short and long is... I cannot see a way to get permission to delete.
Yes I am logged as administrator.
