Zombie file cannot be deleted (access denied & file not found)
I am trying to delete a file and when I list the contents of the folder it ‘lives in, the file is visible but:
When I try to erase the file or change its attributes, I get an “Access Denied” message.
When I try to take ownership, I get a “File not found” message.
When I try to delete the entire folder, I get told I can’t do that because it’s not empty
I am logged into an administrator account
I tried logging in in Safe mode and deleting it: No luck
I tried logging in from the built-in Administrator account: No luck
I tried various Unlocker utilities such as File Assassin, and DeleteInvalidFile: No luck
Checkdisk tells me, there are no errors on this drive.
Any ideas?
