Error 0x80070570: How to delete corrupted and unreadable file?

From what I remember a Startup Repair should repair the FS and remove the files.

As always when using this type of stuff, best to backup the system before

I've never done it with a folder but my fix for files that won't let you delete them under Windows is to do the following from the command-line:

echo "blah" > <filename>

It's worked for me every time :)

Give it a try from a command prompt. If that still doesn't work try doing the same from safe mode.

If this is really a badly corrupted filesystem issue, I would move whatever data off you can and then reformat the drive. It could also be an issue with failing hardware causing the corruption so be aware of that and check it if you can.

Two things I might try:

1. Create a temporary folder ("delete_me"), and see if you can move the corrupted directory into this folder, then attempt to get rid of "delete_me".

2. Boot from a linux-based distribution that has NTFS filesystem support (such as Ubuntu) and delete it from there.

You problably have a badblock on that drive. Try Ultimate Boot CD. It contains tons of useful tools.

When you see the error "0x80070570 can't access files" on install click --> OK ---> you will be returned to the "Install Now" startup screen and - WITHOUT REBOOTING - just re-start the install

Try deleting the folder that contains the corrupted file/folder (move your precious files out first).

Not sure how well it will work with a corrupted file. But whenever I need to delete something that the OS does not want me to Unlocker really helps out.

Give it a try. It might just work for this scenario too.

I had this happen last week. We popped the drive out and installed it in a system that had no issues, then check disk was able to fix it, though safe mode was not.

go to properties for trash bin change to bypass trash and should be able todelete corrupted file.
