Cyclic Redudancy Check

[spencer24150]

I have a zip file on my computer and no way can I delete it, all I get is ' Cyclic Redudancy Check' I have tried chkdsk that does nothing, tried dos delete command nothing, tried file assassin nothing. I cant copy, move or delete it/ I do not need the file so does anybody know of a way of getting shut of it.

If the zip file is in a folder (other than a 'system' folder such as My Documents), can you move all other files from the folder and then delete the folder with the zip file still in it?

I thought what a good idea so I did as you said and still it said can not delete Cyclic Redundancy Check error, very annoying been bugging me for a week now. Thanks for your suggestion though, if you have any more please let me know.
Cheers

You could try the <u>Remove on Reboot</u> application. It adds an option on the right click menu to remove a file the next time the PC is booted.

Tried the application you recommended but this error came up

Run Time error 75
Path/file access error

Stubborn little devil

Another alternative to try --&gt;&gt;Unlocker&lt;&lt;--

If this doesn't work, is it possible to create another zip file with the exact same contents in another folder with the same file name. Copy that file to the same location of the original and have it overwrite it.
Now try to delete it.

---or---

Recreate an empty file but with the same file name and paste into the location of the original and allow it to be overwritten. Try deleting now.

Already tried the overwrite with a file of same name, box said file exists asked if I wanted to replace clicked ok. 1 min later box said can not move file a file with same name already exists choose different file name.

If you are 100% sure you this file is not needed or required and has been created by yourself, I would try to remove the item with a program called --&gt;&gt;Hijackthis&lt;&lt;--
It can remove files and folders on a reboot but no guarantees are offered or given

This program is a powerful tool and I urge you not to experiment with it to try and remove other items which you may think are not required.
Webuser has a specialist --&gt;&gt;forum&lt;&lt;-- to assist users with malware related problems and this tool is used under guidance from an approved malware removal specialist.
I'm not implying that this file is malware, but pointing out that a function of this tool has the capability to remove files or folders which may have been created by malware and of course the capability to remove other files and folders that are not. Either way, removing the wrong files can render a machine useless.

<font color="red">NOTE:</font>
Please look at this link . . . --&gt;&gt;Delete a file on reboot&lt;&lt;-- which shows you how to navigate to and remove a file via the Hijackthis interface.

If you are unsure about using this tool, don't use it.

I removed a stubborn old file by first renaming it in Unlocker and then using Unlocker to delete it. Must be worth a trial.

I ran the Hijackthis programme as you said no explanation at all and file still there so did it again to be sure same thing.

Doublell
Unlocker could not rename nor delete the file reason given error because of Cyclic Redundancy Check

This file is not bullet proof its bomb proof.
