Using Windows 10 and 7. Been moving files back and forth between external hard drives trying to get organized. The files seem to be fine but when I try to delete the folders I get error 0.80070570 and it says they might be corrupted. I have a ton of stuff and can't create new folders for it all. I can only seem to get rid of them by emptying them out and cutting and pasting them to the desktop and then deleting them. This is so incredibly annoying. What do I do? I'm going to be formatting one of the hard drives anyways so I really only have to fix one. Also, how do I keep this from happening in the future when I move the files back to the newly formatted drive?

Thank you. Took your advice and worked around your ideas. Booted Windows 7 to safe mode, took ownership of drive and ran a chkdsk....seems to work fine now. Would have downloaded the programs but internet went bye bye at the time.
