Hi I have a pen drive 256MB and i noticed a bizzarre folder on there called "vodafone". I didnt create it, it just appeared. The folder properties for this folder report it is 74.6GB in size - yes GIGABYTES !! WTF? There are subfolders within this folder with names made up of weird ascii characters.

This folder can not be deleted. If i try to delete it from windows i get this error "Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk" and through DOS "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."

Any idea how to delete?

Copy all files that you need to your main hard drive and reformat the pen drive.

Formatting will erase everything on the drive so make sure that you copy everything you need off it to another drive first.
