  • Looks like the files/folder no longer exists in the location the error indicates. Are you sure the files actually exist?

  • Item not found errors are generally thrown because the item in question has been moved or deleted. For instance, a shortcut pointing to something that got moved or deleted. There are a number of possibilities, but I would generally start with a reboot, then with the chkdsk cmd to find/fix bad sectors. Wanted to give you somthing to start with.

    In cmd you could try deleting the 8.3 name, which you can find by using dir /x.

Thanks to all people who help out to resolve my issue.



I have tired all suggestions and other suggestions on internet. but nothing work out.



So.
I thought about something different.
i have downloaded Ubantu and create bootable pendrive. and start computer with pendrive and select "Try Ubantu" and delete all files and folders which i couldn't delete using windows.



I also thought about deleting all partition drive in which i have problem folders and than create new partition drives. but i don't need it.
