[SrinivasJ]

While deleting a folder which contains some data of 50gb an error message is popping up and the same is as follows.

Error 0x80070570: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

Please guide me how to delete the folder from my pc. I am using windows 8.1 (pro)

Thanks & Regards.

Sorry to say that, but this is not going to help. Startup/repair repairs only system folders and this is apparently a user folder. The link posted by HAK should do it though.

Lol, TS not specified that which folder it was Well, the way I suggested might also help in case of Libraries (for ex. Pictures etc. folder). Let's wait for TS's response. Thanks whs for this clarification
