Uninstall what?
What is/are the filename and extension of said zero byte files?
Sounds fishy, maybe a troll?

Is it possible the files are open (perhaps by XP itself)How to delete some 0Kb files remained after an unistall?
They result not-erasable at all, even after attribute changing, even in pure
DOS.
Any magics to do it, before formatting ?
Thanks.
What folder are they in and what are the file names?
Abraham,No, I don't think, they have been moved to trash.
It was the "Plugins" folder of a < X-Setup > uninstall.
Their name are similar to < XQ TrueType Options 1.xpl >,
all with same extension.
To avoid dependence from the new X-Setup installed version,
the folder was renamed and moved to the recycle bin.
In vain.
Now it's impossible to empty the bin and even to defragment the disk.
At each reboot, ChkDsk starts, works, says all is ok, but nothing actually
changes.
The damned files are marked in blue.
Tks Abraham
forget about them..

Bootup to the recovery console and do chkdsk /rSomething like "Damaged files. Not readable. Not erasable."
But I DO read them.
Maybe are they listed in the FAT but really not on disk !?
O...

cause of problems.. in my case, they are not the cause of any problems..
If the disk requires Chkdsk before a defrag, that suggests problems on the
drive for sure, but not 0 kb files particularly..
If you go to the drive manufacturer website, you cab download a test
program.. do that and run the NON-DESTRUCTIVE test on it..
I had heard that the firmware caused problems...
I ended up wrting zeros to both drives and starting over.. so far, they
have been ok..
