Corrupted Files

[Old and In the Way]

I've had a hell of a week with my PC. I had my C drive STB on me last week. Luckily, I had my entire database backed up on anexternal hard drive, so I'm now in the process of reloading my applications.

However, I have a bunch of corrupted that are taking up 49 Megs of space and I can get rid of them. Thet have no name, just "8 boxes.3 boxes"

Any way of deleting these, maybe thru MS-DOS?

I'm running XP.

1. gipo moveonboot

Cool little app that installs a context menu item whereby you right click a file and choose "delete file(s) on the next boot".

Go down to

Old Version (Freeware)

Here you can download old freeware versions of some programs that are included into the GiPo@FileUtilities software family. Please, note that the version 1.9.5 is free but is no longer supported. We recommend you to move to the newest GiPo@FileUtilities version that is shareware.

2. Thanks...tried it, but no cigar.

These files are on my external drive. Seems like there ought to be a way to wipe these file locations clean.

4. I wonder why

it would matter that they're on an external drive?

3. I would reformat

Maybe you're too far along now, but if I was going to have to reinstall everything anyway, I would reformat.
