    I have a folder on my external hard drive which I've tried to delete because it's corrupted. However, when I highlight it and choose 'Delete' I'm told that access is denied or the file might be in use. Nothing in the folder is in use because it's a zip file which can't be unzipped because it's corrupted. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get rid of this 89gb backup folder? :confused:

    Aha! I solved the problem. I simply closed down all programs which were running and tried to delete the folder. It worked! :)
