I have about 20 files in my C: drive CALLED ÷ they are 400Kb in size and when I go to delete them it tells me Cannot read from source file or disk.

They are not doing anything as done virus check and spyware scan, which are all kept up to date, and nothing is showing up. All they seem to be doing is taking up valuable space on the C: drive

Any ideas how I can get rid of them??

Force delete? Type the delete command, then the pathname, stating with "C:\" If you've already tried this, just say so. Have you tried opening the files to see what they are? Or are you worried that this might trigger viruses?They are just in my c: drive outwith other folders. Am worried that I might delete everything if i do C:> Del *.*Oh, and cant open them, when i DOUBLE click it automatically opens the " Open With" option.Type DEL, then C:\ then the filename. That should delete the file, but nothing else.The file name is just a divide sign, dont know how to type that in DOS, any ideas?What do the files properties show? Do they belong to any recognizable application?When I RIGHT click and properties it shows no name szie 0 bites and space on disk 0 bites.Try highlighting the files, hold down the shift key, and PRESS delete.Dont know if it helps but this is what I'm getting

Try del c:\Alt + 246.* (Number pad)
