I'm trying to delete files off a flash drive. It won't let me delete some files because I "need admin permission". I am the administrator. I have deleted over 8 gbs from this flash drive but can't delete 6 picture files because "Administrator permission needed". These pictures ( along with many that I could delete) were in a file created by someone else. I was first told the file names were too long or corrupted. Looking at the file names..They look wrong or corrupted. Not a problem because I want to delete them but can't. I can't move them or delete them. Properties for each file show 0 bts, but properties for the folder they are in show 3.3 gbs! There were many other pictures in the same folder that deleted just fine! Can anyone help?
 
Solution
Have you simply tried to format the drive, thus removing all files? Of course, anything you want to save should be saved to another storage device first.
