File Or Directory Corrupted and Unreadable Error. Help?

G

I have a directory that shows in explorer as having 0 bytes, but I
can't remove it or look in it. When I do, I get this error:

The directory is not accessible.
File Or Directory Corrupted and Unreadable.

What can I do?

Thanks

Okay - it is an external (USB) disk, so I hope Checkdisk works.
