One surefire way to do it without deleting my files is copying all other files to another HDD and reformat it and copy it back again but my hdd is currently contains 1 tb out of 1.36 and i dont have any hdds with that free space to use. Tried apps in Play Store that says secure delete that uses a different algorithm but still, after it says yes, the same scenario occurs above. It says success but checking it again on the phone it retains still the file with 0 bytes.
the folder is still there and it is undeletable What I noticed is it only shows one file, unlike looking in any Android file manager. It was shared when i deleted it and still appeared on the shared folders list but inaccessible coz it was already deleted so i 'unshared' the folder from the shared folders list. The folder originally contained all my movies but since then i moved(using the move command) all of them someplace else(on another hdd) and I thought it was gone but the folder is still there, 0 bytes. I logged in as the Administrator and still no hope. I tried changing permissions and atrributes and it says you do not have permission to view or edit this objects permission settings. tried on safe mode, tried the cmd commands, even in cmd it says access denied, tried the closing explorer.exe and doing the command. You can create such a file for example by righ-clicking in a folder and.
I've searched the net for hours, Trying unlocker, fileassassin, and all other 'file deleter' programs out there. New files that are created are zero bytes of size, until something is added to them. It says access denied when trying, please login as admin blah blah msgs. I have a 0 byte folder and I can't delete it.
