I have a SSD C: drive with Windows 10. I also have a standard 1TB hard drive which I use for general storage. The drive is partitioned to a D: and E: drive.

Recently I started getting errors in the E: drive when Windows was starting which became more regular and at one point I could not access the drive at all. The D: drive worked fine. Eventually I removed all of the folders from the E: drive and carried out a full format. The drive now works fine. However when I copied the folders back I copied some of them to the D: drive to balance the storage. I am now having problems with the D: drive. I can access it OK but cannot delete any of the files or folders. The problem appears to be caused by a file or folder that was on previously the E: drive and is now on the D: drive. When I try to delete unwanted files or folders I get the message, "can't read from the source file or disk" Can any one help me resolve this and find the rogue files or folder?

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Alrwady done all that. Ran multiple tests and 1TB HD is goosed. Spec me a replacement for storage. I have a 250 GB SSD for Windows and I am using about 400 GB of my nackered 1TB drive for storage. Unlikely to ever need more than 1TB for general quick access storage.
