Corrupted file type

Post by i-sty »

Hi,

I can not delete 3 folders from my USB pendrive, because PCManFM says that are corrupted.
That is not problem because I have copied, but how can I delete them?

Please look at the attached screenshot :)

Thank you!

Welcome to the LXDE forum. If you can copy them, can you "cut and paste" them? That would essentially delete them from the flash drive.

Use the terminal to cd to the directory containing the files. Then enter

Code: Select all

 sudo rm -i *
You will be asked to remove or not remove each item in the directory in turn. To remove an item, answer y for "yes" and press "enter". To not remove, answer n for "no" and press "enter". There is a space between the "i" and "*" in the code above.
