Can anyone help me. I have this corrupted folder that will not deletc. I have tried to move it, delete it and rename but it just doesn't delete or move. I have also tried taking ownership and checking file permission but get the same results. I have tried everything I can think of and was wondering if someone has a better solution.

Disregard post, Microsoft says to run chkdsk to try to recover files or folder, if it cannot recover the file or folder it will return the system to an internally consistent state.
