cannot delete folder due to corrupt file..help!

[backtothefuture]

I'm trying to delete a folder from my HDD but an error message pops up and says 'cannot delete xxx ...the folder or directory is corrupted and unreadable.'

is there no way I can get rid of the above folder, without formatting the HDD?

thanks

hm ok thanks for your suggestions guys

I tried running CHKDSK /F on it and that seemed to do the trick!

cheers
