This problem is not about locked/shared/ etc. files, its about coding, so here is it:
I have a few files with non-printable characters tagged at the end of filename (truncated for char coding problem, I think), with files from servers running on foreign language systems, (my xp is Traditional Chinese version) how can I remove them?
BTW1:
explorer lists the entries with zero file size.
When I rename/delete them, explorer responds with “Unable to rename/detete file: cannot read source files or disks” (translation)
cmd and 4nt (yeah, quite handy) can display the filename, using TAB or wildcards, but totally deny the existance of such files.
BTW2:
I did delete some such files once, but I’ve forgotten the procedures, and the tools.
Can I get away with these kinds of problem all together?
