Error deleting file or folder

[James]

After using the Search Companion, I get the following
error message when I try to delete multiple files.
Error Deleting File or Folder
Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source
file or disk. How can I delete multiple files?

Hi

'Cannot read from the source...' message means that the file/folder is no longer there - ie. it has already been deleted -unless you have a major glitch on your HD. The files that have that message - can you delete them individually - or do you get the same error message?

I can delete the files one at a time or go to the folder
and delete them. I only get this error message when I
highlight multiple files and try to delete them. If the
search companion fould the files, they should be there.

Hi

Agreed - if the files were found via search - they 'should' be there - unless deleted 'just' before the search was initiated. Puzzling - using the Ctrl key you 'should' be able select & then delete those files from multiple folders & hard disks/partitions. I've just tried deleting various files form my partitions, but haven't had any problems. Not sure what the problem could be ATM.

I have 2 folders whose properties do not list the folder
name or file type. When I try to deleting them I get the
following error message:

Error Deleting File or Folder
Cannot Delete File : Cannot Read From Source File or
Disk

Any hints on hoew to delete these files?
