I've read about deleting files which "do not exist"
and got as far as del /q /s filename
in command prompt.
However, the file is named COM^sv3.O[e
in the browser.
but when i type in dir it =
Of which there are charaters I cant even type.
Even copying from teh command prompt, as is. It still "cannot find" the file.
Any ideas on how to delete?
Answer
That backspace character can be a problem. Use the UNC path. Switch to the directory where the file is stored, then use this command:
del \\?\%cd%\COM^sv?3.0[e
Of course this is assuming that the filename shown in your screenshot is complete. If not, then just reduce it to del \\?\%cd%\COM*
Also, did you try simply deleting the file in Explorer?
