I Want To Delete Corrupt Files In Windows Xp
Hi, I'm on a WindowsXP Pro, and I would like to know how to delete files that are corrupt, I get a message saying they cant be deleted, this has happened to me a few years ago but cant remember how to do it, what I do remember is to set the computer into 'safe' mode, then go into 'run' and type a command file, like you would with 'msconfig', does anyone know the command I should use? I think its 'checkdsc' something, I cant get it right. A refresher on how to do this would be great, thanx!

I got it out, I used a program called Unlocker along with the disk scan and that seems to have done the trick, thank you for your help.
