20220 2001-10-06 02:36:00 a small trick for deleteing those pesky files with huge or invalid file names is to simply delete the folder they are in, obvoiusly deleteing everything inside it so you will need to take everything out that u don't want deleted. Guest (0)
20221 2001-10-06 02:43:00 no i can not. it always throw a message back at u saying windows cant find or locate the file\folder when i try to rename them. and i cant delete it from dos either due to dont know how to type chinese. so any other suggestions? Guest (0)

20223 2001-10-08 04:28:00 I also had this very problem a few weeks back and tried all of the above and more with no luck.
I tried 2 file shredders, and even tried moving the file to my Linux partition and using it's file shredder with no joy.
But I got it in the end.
Good old fdisk trashed it forever!!
