Hi Fidelis,

It's not a idea to post your email address on a public forum.

Hold the Shift Key down, right click the "f" folder and select delete.

If this still does not work, try the same in Safe Mode.

The easiest way is to open a cmd window and delete the files using the
8.3 names, or wildcards.

Example:

8.3 filename long filename
-----------------------------

WHY_PO~1.TXT why_political_thought_is_imprisoned_in_the_present.txt

del WHY_PO~1.TXT

or

del why_politi*.*
