Lucent Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Try to run a chkdsk, it could be some filesystem corruption, if it isn't, get Unlocker and check what is preventing that folder from being deleted ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjoa Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'll try that later. Last night I've recovered 10 sectors using HDD Regenerator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucent Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'll try that later. Last night I've recovered 10 sectors using HDD Regenerator.It's HDD Regenerator's fault, maybe the record that pointed to that folder was on a damaged sector and it was replaced.Try to do a chkdsk as soon as possible, you should do that just after the regeneration process!
