[QUOTE="whitedb, post: 1773493, member: 396195"] [b]Error -50 trying to move of delete files[/b] I am having EXACTLY the same problem. I was backing up some old PC discs to my Mac (MacPro 3,1 running El Capitan) and now cannot move or delete some of them. Some of the offending files have strange characters in the name: AD␀i␀s␀k␀1. I tried to rename them but an error "the name xxx cannot be used Try using a name with fewer characters, or with no punctuation marks." Did you find any solution. I have tried terminal commands and get the invalid argument error. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
