Unable to delete file: Unable to read source file or disk

  
        

The computer has been used for a long time. There are empty folders that are not known in the hard disk. Sometimes when we delete these files, we will also prompt "Cannot delete files: cannot read source files or disks". Generally it is a deformed file. Is there any way to delete the malformed file? Let's see how the author deletes those files that cannot be deleted.

First of all: to create a text file, copy the following content into it:

DEL /F /A /Q \\?%1

RD /S /Q \\? %1

Then: Save this file text file (Note: When saving, the following file type should select "All Files" (the default is Text Document.txt) and name it "del.bat" without quotes. And remember to bring the suffix name of ".bat")

Next: Drag the stubborn malformed file that needs to be deleted to the icon of the bat file to delete it.

By writing such an operation program, you can easily delete those malformed files and find that there are these malformed files that cannot be deleted in your computer. Try it!
