Hi, a folder containing music has somehow got onto my removable flash drive
and I can't delete it, I get the message "cannot delete file:cannot read from
the source file or disk". I can't drag it anywhere either and it's using up
all the space. Any help is appreciated as I need to save my Thesis
somewhere!! Thank you

Two things come to mind; try deleting it from the command line, or simply
format the thumb drive.

I'm sorry but I have no idea what either of those things mean!! Can you spell
it out please?!
 
Sorry, was being thick last night, have formatted the disk and it deleted
everything so THANK YOU!
