dat files won't delete

[Brynk]

I recently needed to reinstall an application
I uninstalled thru Control Panel and then deleted remaining files

I have several .dat files that won't delete,
I get the error message:

data error (cyclic redundancy check)

I tried deleting in Safe Mode, but get the same result

Sounds like you might have corruption in your file system or a hard drive
going bad. Have you run chkdsk on the drive? Go to a command prompt and
type

chkdsk c: /f

where c: is the drive you need to check. If it's a system drive, you'll be
prompted to have the system check the next time it restarts. Select Y for
yes and reboot.
