Can't Delete two Files

Simian · 20 Jul 2007 at 18:53

I've got two .mp3 files that were made in Linux (Ubuntu Feisty Fawn) using Sound Juicer! (thats not the problem).

Unfortunately it created the File Names too Precisely!!

They are:
04 - Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones - Across The Stars.mp3
15 - Star Wars: A New Hope - Main Theme.mp3

This has caused a problem in WMP11 and Winamp!... If you look closely you'll see the ':' mark after 'Star Wars'... so Windows in its ultimate wisdom now thinks they're Drives of summut!! :mad:

I can't Play em, delete em, Edit em, or even copy em...

Is there a way I can delete them (I've tried from the command line!!) so I can start again and rip em in EAC wirh LAME under WinXP???..

HELP

Sim.

from here

Sorry Nope!... Tried Unlocker earlier!... it just says theres nothing that can be done!

I'm in the process of re-installing Linux to see if I can do it from there!!

Can Unlocker not even delete them when the PC is restarted? Sometimes more stubborn files can only be deleted at boot up.

Nope... But I managed to do it from a basic Ubuntu install with the NTFS tool.. then Removed Linux and fixed the MBR... a little extreme but they're gone!!..
