Need help deleting files in recycle bin of external hard drive
Hey guys,
I have a slight problem. I cannot seem to delete the files in the recycle bin of my external hard drive. It is only a few family pictures that I had duplicates of so it doesn't take up much space, but it is annoying me anyways. I tried taking ownership and deleting them, as well as attempting to force delete them using an elevated command prompt, but no luck. Anyone have any ideas? Please help me out. This drive also has all my music on it so formatting it would be really really hard to do because I am not sure I have enough space to move the music off of it. BTW, it seems to be only one of the partitions that the files won't delete on. Hard drive is a logitech or iomega (I can't get to it it's behind the computer. I could if I really needed to but it would be tricky. It's a bit old but has not displayed any other problems so I don't think anything is wrong with it hardware wise. HDD no SSD btw, if it matters. Please get back to me - I am kinda OCD and it is so annoying!
Thanks
