I have never experienced anything like this before. I have a two ipt file that refuse to be deleted.
I think this files are causing problems elsewhere in system, but cant get rid of then.
The files are in a "Old Versions" folder.
I am working in Windows Explorer and Inventor is closed...
When I try to delete the folder I get a message "cannot delete blah blah... cannot find the specified file.
When I highlite either of the files and click "Properties" I get "the properties for this item are not available". When I highlite either file and click "delete" absolutely nothing at all happens. Actually when I try to do anything with the files nothing happens. Cant copy, cany cut, cand DELETE... Nothing
Both files have the same files, but have the .0002 & .0003 added to the name because they are in the "Old versions" folder. Both files have very long names, and I got a feeling that when Inventor added the ".0002 and .0003 thin, this is what screwed them up.
This is the first time I have never been able to NOT get rid of a file and or folder. They are not "read only files" either, I guess, as I can not even get "Properties" I am not sure.
Its like they are not even there but I can see them and highlite them. WIERD!!!!
Is there something in the Registry to kill them? Can I get rid of them through DOS? I am no guru, but sure do need the help of one.
Bottom line... HOW DO I GET RID OF THEM?
