I am but a humble retard begging for help with an embarrassing situation. I've got a (corrupted?) file for a porn vid I tried to delete long ago. The icon will not allow itself to be deleted, moved, or played, whenever I try to do any of those things it reads a message saying 'the item is no longer located in [original location] Verify the item's location and try again.'

wat do; plz help a stupid degenerate out :_:
Refresh (hit F5) until it goes away
it also does not allow me to rename the file, and when trying to change attributes like hidden or read-only it says 'The system can not find the file specified'
The file type is just "file" and it won't allow me to change it
maybe u shoulda sprang ur sprung on his tits
js
does nothing, this thing has been on in my file browser for over a year now after many refreshings, restarts, and system updates.
Use file shredder, run chkdsk on the drive, buy an SSD
The needful
Mount the drive from Linux and delete it.
Why is it that every time windows has a problem, the solution is to run linux and mount the drive and manually fix the problem?
Cause it works. If you file has a space at the end of the filename it's pretty much impossible to interact with it in Windows and the only way to delete it would be from another OS.

That's not true, you can delete such files from the windows command line or using a scripting lang that does API calls properly. there are just a few cases of reserved words that fuck everything up but unless another os made those files to begin with it's unlikely you'd have that prob anyway
in fact just erase windows and use linux
It's a virus.
Its not. It used to be a regular video until I tried to delete it, then it became this. There has been no detrimental effects to my system other than the icon not going away, and it doesn't flag as anything bad with malwarebytes and similar programs
So in this particular case, what would I need to type into command line to delete this? I'd really appreciate the help

>NTFS
Try deleting it from Linux, don't run chkdsk or you risk making it worse and ending up with a nuked filesystem.
Have you tried admin login?
Open a command prompt by running "CMD.EXE"
Navigate to the folder holding the file
Use the command DIR /X which will display the short names of files.
Delete using the short name.
holy shit she got fat
yes I did
very wary about this, will try first
thanks guys
Move everything else out of that folder
Create an empty folder outside of that folder
Robocopy EmptyFolder FolderWithFile /purge
It'll erase it
Linux is a kernel. Linux is not an operating system. You are thinking of the GNU operating system that uses Linux as the kernel.
based windowns user
Run CMD as admin
Cd
Delete
Should fix it
Nope, GNU does nothing for mounting ntfs. You're an idiot.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Why the fuck would you censor the file path? What are you hiding?
right click and should be an option to compress it
you want to click "delete after compression" or something to that effect.
it should delete itself after it's compressed, then just delete the new compressed file that was created.
done.
His real name is in the Users directory, obviously what he's hiding is his identity, user
Try deleting it in a Ubuntu live CD OP
You want the real answer? Get this tiny little program called "Unlocker", open it, point it to the directory, and tell it to delete it. It will get rid of anything, regardless of the file or permissions or whatever bullshit OS nonsense is going on. You're welcome OP.
I've had the problem before, it's some dumb shit to do with permissions (even though I'm running an admin account). I seem to remember this working but if not I think there's some third party software specifically designed to deal with Windows file fuckups like yours.
This is the third party software I was talking about.
Fair, but knowing some random user is named "Benji" isn't going to make him a target.
That's a botnet.
Just boot into safe mode and delete,
Or boot into desktop, then open cmd, then cd onto the folder and type del filename.mp4

OP is a fag
try to make a new file and rename it to the one you are trying to remove
