Can't Delete/rename/move a file..

[Guest Paul MacFarlane]

I received a file (we'll call it Mydata.cp) within a ZIP file. The ZIP file

and data file were created on an XPP machine.

 

The CP is an Adobe Captivate file. (212mb)

 

If I run Captivate, I can't open the file. If I run Captivate as

Administrator, I can open the file.

 

If I run windows explorer as Administrator (and maybe I'm not doing this

right), I cannot rename or move the file.

 

If I run command prompr as Administator, I can't delete or rename either.

 

If I right click the file, and select properties, nothing ever shows.

 

I've looked at the properties of the ZIP file and "unblocked" it.

 

Any idea what is going on? what I've done wrong?

 

Thanks,

Paul

Re: Can't Delete/rename/move a file..

 

Is the .Zip file deletable? The .Zip should be unblocked before its files

are extracted, otherwise the extracted files will also be marked "blocked".

Which apparently Mydata.cp still is. (You can Unblock it by opening its

Properties). As far as deleting it, try this:

 

At an elevated command prompt, type the following command, and then press

ENTER:

 

takeown /f Path_And_File_Name

 

For example, type:

takeown /f C:\Users\Paul\Downloads\WasZipped\Mydata.cp

 

 

Type the following command, and then press ENTER to grant

administrators full access to the file:

 

icacls Path_And_File_Name /GRANT ADMINISTRATORS:F

 

For example, type:

icacls C:\Users\Paul\Downloads\WasZipped\Mydata.cp /grant administrators:F

 

Then try to delete Mydata.cp.

Re: Can't Delete/rename/move a file..

 

Thanks dean - I'll give that a try.

 

Sounds like you agree it's a security issue.

 

I had "unblocked" the zip and then extracted the file at one time.

 

One thing I didn't mention is that there were 3 other files in the same ZIP.

No problems with them ( htm, js, and SWF file).

 

Thanks for your suggestion.

Re: Can't Delete/rename/move a file..

 

dean..

 

any idea how long those command should take to execute?

 

I cancelled takeown after 5 minutes...

 

tried icacls as well - same problem.....

 

If I simply try "del myfile.cp" at the elevated command prompt it does the

same thing too...

Re: Can't Delete/rename/move a file..

 

If you look at the file's Properties, is there a Security tab? If so try

taking ownership, etc. that way. But the file's Properties might be borked

some other way as well. The commands I gave should happen in seconds. Try

running Check Disk, choosing to automatically fix file system errors (you

will have to reboot)...

Yep - properties never show. I've run checkdisk a couple of times...

Re: Can't Delete/rename/move a file..

 

You said you could open the file with Captivate, as Administrator. Can you

make some changes to the document, and then save your changes; that is, with

the same name, in the same folder? Or can you just erase a vast amount of

it's content? I've never used the program, so I don't know how editing a

".cp" would work... My goal is to get the file to acquire properties. It's

corrupted, so I don't know if that would work.

Re: Can't Delete/rename/move a file..

 

Captivate is a multi-media type file.

 

I was able to open one and then did a save-as. I don't remember if I

resaved the original.

 

The save-as file (a different resulting file size) exhibits the same

problems....

Re: Can't Delete/rename/move a file..

 

I've determined this has something to do with the built in Zip extraction...

 

I have extracted the same file using winrar and have had Zero problems with

it.

Re: Can't Delete/rename/move a file..

 

You may be right. I think Explorer has a problem with .zip files once they

reach a certain size, or perhaps if a file inside it reaches a certain size.

Do you still have problems deleting Mydata.cp? If so, try deleting the

folder it resides in, holding down the Shift key on your keyboard, and then

choose Delete.

Re: Can't Delete/rename/move a file..

 

Yes, still problems deleting - see posting in File management.

 

I'll give the "shift" a try. - Tried, no joy. Just gives the hard drive a

workout....

 

Thanks.
