Hard Drive Refuses To Erase Anything

Asked By Jose K Vincent 60 points N/A Posted on - 02/07/2015

I have a newer 1TB drive that I installed last year. So far it has worked great with no problems. I went to delete a few old photos off the drive last night. And it will not actually delete them. It acts like it is erasing them but when I go back and check. They all still show up in the directory. Is this a virus?

Hard Drive Refuses To Erase Anything

It seems that your hard drive has been affected by virus. If you have an Antivirus loaded in your system, then scan the hard drive for virus threats. Once done, open up the hard drive folder, delete the unwanted files and refresh the page. The items deleted should not be there any more. Now to check, don't click 'back' but reopen the folder and check.
