How about you slow down, start from the beginning, and explain the issue calmly and completely.

What is the hardware you're using, whats the specific problem? etc

I have the Seagate 5TB expansion drive, I had nightshift and was transferring 1TB of UFC fights to my newly bought HDD during which my brother decided to turn off the electricity.
This cause the transfer to be cancelled abruptly and now the folder is unreadable and corrupted, I want too delete this folder because it still takes up space on my HDD

I tried to remove it via SAFE MODE and it didnt work, I tried Malware file assasin but that wont allow you to delete a corrupted folder.

I haven't used this software in a long time, but the free version should allow you to delete the data from the last time I had used it. Worth a try, its free.

Hey all, would a Puppy Linux usb or dvd boot work? Then, using its file manager to locate and delete that pesky folder?
