After merging partitions with PQ, there are un-deletable folders. Hope everyone can help! - China DOS Union Forum

Partitions A and B. Want to merge partition B into partition A.

Tool: PQMAGIC SERVER

The way of PQMAGIC SERVER version is to treat partition B as a folder and put it into partition A.

Note here that the size of A is greater than 32G and the disk format is FAT32.

Format partition B before operation, and keep the data of partition A.

After successful merging, there is an additional folder under partition A, which is the original partition B.

The symptom is that this folder cannot be deleted.

Efficiency Source detection: normal
chkdsk driver: /f normal

Results:

Under DOS:
RD unsuccessful
MOVE unsuccessful
REN successful --- can be renamed

Under Windows:
Right-click unsuccessful
Prompt: The directory is not empty

Can be deleted to the recycle bin, but only when there are files in this folder
After deleting to the recycle bin, the recycle bin cannot be emptied
And when restoring, the content in the original file is missing

Under PE:
Similar situation to Windows
In addition: All file shredder software are ineffective!

Below is the dir effect

Below is the dir effect

D:\>cd 不可删文件夹

D:\不可删文件夹>dir /a
Volume in drive D is GAMES
Volume Serial Number is 8B13-508E

Directory of D:\不可删文件夹

2007-05-06 18:13 <DIR> .
2007-05-06 18:13 <DIR> ..
2007-05-06 15:50 <DIR> ..
0 File(s) 0 bytes
3 Dir(s) 1,031,798,784 bytes free

In addition, I hope everyone doesn't tell me to transfer all files, then format and re-partition!
I know this can solve the problem, but this partition has nearly 40G of content, and I don't want to waste all my time on transferring files back and forth!
Thanks to everyone here in advance!

请你明确一下具体的指令呀，比如是要搜索论坛里包含“畸形”这个关键词的相关内容然后进行翻译，还是其他关于这个关键词在论坛里相关内容的处理呢？你可以再补充完整具体要求哦。

Please try: Rename it to a text file name, edit it with Notepad and save it, and then delete it.

Hehe, I've looked through the abnormal folders, but there's nothing like my situation! Thanks for your concern!

Please first scan the disk for errors and repair them.

I remember that the Paragon company released a tool called Partition Explorer for DOS. Try using it to see if you can delete this directory. Actually, since your B partition is empty, you can completely delete it and then expand the A partition. There's no need to use the merge function.
