Thanks for the info, Mike. I don't know who is that ccollomb, but putting a trojan-spoiled version of unlocker is rather unfriendly, and dangerous for people like us.

These people have no ideas!Deleting A Corrupt FileThe reason the file is undelete-able is because the MFT has been corrupted. Don't panic yet. What this means is that it can't reconcile the differences between the long file name and short:"This behavior can occur if the NTFS volumes' Master File Table (MFT) is corrupted. The short and long file name pairs that are stored in the directory index record and the file names that are stored in the associated File Record Segment (FRS) contain case-sensitive characters that do not match.NTFS supports case-sensitive (POSIX) file names, but Chkdsk does not check file names in case-sensitive mode.For example, assume that the directory index record has a BADFILe.TXT entry but the FRS has a BADFILE.TXT entry for the file name. NTFS views this as being invalid or corrupted, but Chkdsk compares only the names and ignores the case. It does not make repairs."~https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/246026to fix this, it is laborious. Backup the volume MINUS the corrupted file (to an external disk is best). Then format the volume. Restore the volume, et voila! Ne pas de problem maintenant!-reply by Makukabaruka

THANK YOU! This was extremely helpful, I did chkdsk already through windows, but for some reason it worked under the command prompt.  I fixed my mp3 player!

Deleting a corrupt file in windows XP Deleting A Corrupt File

This fricking worked like a CHARM!  ... No viruses either, mine wasnt an AVI file it was a corrupted download file that stopped midway and was locked IN USE by some other file, I had tried removing all services and even paired down in safemode, no effect.

I searched the registry for any form of the file name... Not found.. 

I downloaded the GIPO... Told it to delete the file on the next boot and it was gone!

I don't think that unlocker is a threat.Which antivirus found this?I am also a user of unlocker for 1 year.My antiviruses firstly avira and then avg not found it as a threat.Your antivirus finding it as a thrat ,it may because of it forcing delete & forcing to kill application process to delete file.

Corrupted file removalDeleting A Corrupt FileI recently had an program data file that was corrupted. No, I am talking about an ordinary data file, not a program's data file. Every time I tried to delete or alter it in the file menue (XP, Vista and Win7) explorer crashed and restarted. In the end I successfully deleted the file by going into SAFE MODE and changing the file name. Even then I couldn't delete it but I was able to once I restarted and rebooted.Just thought this may help for ordinary data files.CeeBee-reply by Cee Bee

Unlocker still works!  Couldn't get three 0 files to delete, grant access, or move.  Attrib in DOS would not work.  I still don't know the exact problem, but I downloaded the unlocker program and the files were sent packing.
