Hi I have a NAS drive plugged into my router which I access wirelessly via my win7 PC

There are a number of files and folders on the NAS whichcannot be deleted -eror message saying they cannot be found. Is there anything I can do?

thanks

When did it start giving you a problem? Uninstall anything, change settings?

well my hard drive died and the pc was fixed under warranty and has certain different components such as a different DVD drive. Problem since then. However I can delete and write most files to and from the NAS, just not these. I could format the NAS but there's a lot of backed up data from elswehere on it so that's last resort. I have also tried deleting the files by accessing the Nas from other pCS but no joy...

The NAS box should be for backups... If you have data on there that's only 1 copy then you need to make backups of it. Any data you don't have at least two copies of, is data you don't care about.

That being said, back it up, format it, restore data to the NAS box. Simple.

Or...
