[QUOTE="ziggo, post: 1022943, member: 148493"] Hey, I have a file on my external hdd which just doesn't want to go away when I delete it. It was a folder which I thought I deleted, now it shows up as an alias file with no size or info whatsoever. When I delete it with cmd+backspace or if I drag it to the trash then it just appears again in a few seconds. I've done a scan on viruses with iAntivirus, but no threats were found. Also in windows the file is unreadable and can't be deleted. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
