Help!

Look at this:

Last week it was fine, but today, it has bunch of random files and I can't delete them! It's taking up 58GB of my USB's space. :(
And AVG Anti-Virus doesn't help at all! :'(

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit! Please help!

Have you tested to see if the drive is failing? And if it's a portable HDD, have you checked to see if this is happening on other computers?

It's happening on every computer I'm plugging my USB into.

What does it say when you try to delete it?

 

[mineox100]

It would either say nothing and doesn't work or says the file's not found.

You should try to do a hard drive diagnostic on it.. the symptoms you listed seem to relate to a failing hard drive, though I could be wrong...

I did a scan:

Any suggestions?

If I we're you I'd backup anything important and then format the drive.

Hey guys, I have no idea how it happened, but after the scan, I was able to delete all the files!
For who don't know how to scan it, right-click on the drive, go to Properties > Tools > Check Now.

After deleting all the messed up files, you might want to get everything that still exists in there off the drive and into a backup. The drive might be headed to the graveyard.
