Hi,
I have 512mb pen drive, was working fine. The problem is that there is one folder in the drive, which I am unable to delete it, when I try to remove it says UNABLE to DELETE.
when I browse that folder , it conatins 4 files but their names are in the ASCII format, that is the main reason that I am unable to delete it. It occupied more than 100mb of space :(
Plz help me

You can delete this or the files in the pen drive by using
a software known as unlocker which is available in the
may 2006 cd of DIGIT......
By using this software you can delete any file, folder anywhere on your pc..

As PCWORM said the unlocker software is good, but it comes in handy if the program is locked by the OS. But as u have said that u r facing problems with a USB drive then it must be the pen drive's MBR which is holding it back from deletion.
You can ofcourse use Unlocker 1.8.3 which u can get from the following link:
*ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/
or else use a more powerful tool such as R-Wipe and Clean from the link below:

In the zone
From Tools>Folder Options>View, go to "Do Not Show Hidden Files & Folders". If now the files are not shown in your Pen Drive, the you don't need to worry about: these probably are the system files. Otherwise format(quick) your Pen Drive

Copy the important contents of ur drive to Hard-disk n simply format it(This will also remove the possibilities of viruses n all)
