uTorrent.exe - Corrupt file

I am having a problem with uTorrent but it seems to be caused by more generalized file corruption
(I use utorrent mainly downloading legal torrents for what ever its worth)

Anyway every 10 seconds I get this balloon popping up on my task bar:
utorrent: uTorrent.exe - Corrupt file
The file or directory \Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent\resume.dat is corrupt
and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility

Normally I would think it is a uTorrent problem only except when if I go to that folder
and try to rename/delete that file I get:
An unexpected error is preventing this operation. Make a note of this error code,
which might be useful if you get additional help to resolv this problem:

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

Not an expert in utorrent but if its not too much of a hassle I would uninstall it with
http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/revo_uninstaller_portable ------- 3mb download
once downloaded and setup open the program and right click utorrent and click advanced uninstallation. follow onscreen instructions.
Then I would download utorrentportable same thing as utorrent but by using the portable version you wont get any errors with appdata or roaming folders
