Folder is Not Moving and Not Deleting

I have downloaded dictionary in which folder of voice language pronunciations in to other languages ( VOX type folder ) is sticked to my C drive. It neither moving nor deleting and thus it prevents to move whole dictionary folder from C drive to another drive,

I have downloaded it from torrent.

After making right click no option for rename or delete appears.

Due to this folder I am not able to use dictionary or not able to move IT from C drive.

Please show me a way to delete the folder and or rename the folder.

I tried it in safe mode to delete or rename bu all efforts gone in vain.

Please suggest some thing.

click on the folder (select it) and press "delete" from keyboard.

tried but not able to delet

Use a Linux live CD, load Linux and delete the folder in question. Normally works in such cases. I use one from Knoppix.

@meetdilip Good idea if pnjani is using XP otherwise it'll be a prob


BTW consider these

pnjani can you link me to the torrent over Private Msg? So that I understand what it is?

@ axel, Nice link.

I used to have XP and Windows 7 dual boot. Tried Knoppix in that scenario. Worked for me.

Just like XP is an operating system from Microsoft, Knoppix is a Linux Operating system. You can use it from CD without installing it

Download live CD from here : KNOPPIX - Live Linux Filesystem On CD

Write it into a CD, and insert in CD drive. Restart the PC. Now you will find an option to choose Knoppix. Log in to Knoppix. Now simply check folder that is not giving any option to delete. Now you will find an option to delete it.

Hope you understood.

what i meant to say is "when you give delete from right click, it must be saying this dialogue..

:the folder/file you are trying to delete doesnt exist"

Screen shot attached

All are requested to see the sareen shot and see the option menu generated after right click.

First, do you have an antivirus? Some comments from isohunt says that the file is infected.

Second try to delete the root folder.

I have avast free antivirus.

From where you have read the comments of isohunt ?

How to delet root folder.

I tried to send PM to axel but PM was not going and suddenly mu PC rebboot

after that i an wri ting this

I got the PM.

Now tell me did you install that software?
If yes try to uninstall it.

or

Delete the whole dictionaries folder.

you have not suggested any software and whole dictionary folder can not be deleted or move.

Apart from this will you suggest a good dictionaty.

Can you uninstall the software (the dictionary) from control panel?

I mostly use google when I don't know something.

whole dictionary folder is laying C drive my documents and download.

I have not installed because it is not allowing to install.

Just i tis laying there and not doing any thaing and not allowing us to do any thing with that dictionary whole folder

Either its infected with an virus or its corrupted

Scan it with an antivirus

boot scan or normal scan

Try this

Start > run > %appdata%/utorrent <<copy paste

Select the torrent (If you haven't deleted it from root)

start in utorrent>> right click>> remove and delete torrent + data


Boot scan will be preferable

Please suggest some good dictionary and from where to download it.

@ pnjani

This may help. Give it a try.

As per suggestion downloaded KNOPPIX as a RAR file. After extractingf it it create a yellow folder of 3.43 GB.

In RAR file extension shows that it is .iso file but after extracting it it gives yellow folder and no .iso file with cd icon.

Now what to do and how to use it.

No need to extract it. Simply reinstall Nero. Now you can see the file as iso image file. Double click it, write into a CD and restart the system. Knoppix will load. You will be directed to a window just like Windows desktop. Here you can see your disc drives. Open the folder which cannot be deleted. Delete it.

Now shutdown and when the menu prompts, remove the disc. Thats all.

Shri Meetdilip,

Done as per your advise, but NO RESULT.

Burn Disk as iso image, incerted in to cd drive restarted PC twice but knoppix did not load.

Did boot scan also but no threat deducted.

Now what to do.

Boot from cd using bios...

And use the explorer to get to that folder and delete it.

I think you burned the CD as iso image. You need to write it as bootable disc. For that, simply double click the image and it will be burned automatically if you have Nero in your system. Once it is just like a bootable CD, simply insert the disc and restart the PC. It will automatically load. You will end up with a desktop like scene from where you can browse to the folder and delete it. After finishing you can just log out as in Windows and later take the CD when prompted.

PS: Hope you tried Wordweb.

(1)Did you try Ccleaner? download from filehippo.com
(2)
http://www.indiabroadband.net/attach...notmoving1.jpg
presume you cannot move one by one each folder or all of them at one shot.l
( say about 40)
(3) Take at random one folder and post the properties.
File size read onlyArchive/file size/ opens with/ etc.

With all your guidance and help problem solved. After running Linux live CD renamed the problematic folder and then shifted from there and then nacessary done as per my requirement.

Thanks all who helped in this matter.

Always Welcome

Keep your live CD safe. It will come handy in situations like these.

Meet dilip thank you very very much for taking so much care of mine.

some time folder will not deleted or moving one place to another location in your computer it means virus available in your computer that time you first deleted the virus or scan the computer.

search the folder name in windows registry
type regedit in run and press enter
then search for the folder name.
if there are any keys then delete those keys.

also check for the foldername/its contents names in taskmanager's processes list and end the tasks

check for any such processes in startup using "msconfig" in run and selecting startup.if anything found then uncheck the entry ad retart the system.

if neither of them works then use live cd's like ubuntu/kubuntu and delete the folder.

a full system scan is recomended
