Cannot delete a file. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable












1














I have a file on my laptops SD card. I use the SD card as an extension of my hard drive.



When I try to delete this file (.jpg) I get the following error message




Error 0x80070570: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.




A quick Google search of this provides results for this error message during installation of Windows or on a Server.



I attempted the following command



del f "D:GitHubSitePhotoshoprestaurant-644504_1920.jpg"


But I get a similar image about it being corrupted.



I am able to write files to the SD card, amend files and delete files. This issue is occurring with only 1 file.



How can I remove this corrupted file?

Well, the filesystem is corrupted. You have to fix it.



Right-click the card in Computer, select PropertiesToolsCheck.



If you prefer command line, chkdsk /f X: will do the same thing (replace X: with the drive letter).



This may be an indication that the SD card will fail soon, make sure your backups are working and prepare a spare card.

  • Is this different to chkdsk /f?

  • It's either chkdsk /f or chkdsk /r, AFAIR it's /f by default but you can check a checkbox to make it /r.
