bardrow Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 I have a 7.0 trial version. I ran a backup of a file then made some changes to the file and ran another backup to capture the changes. In order to assure myself that everything was working like it was supposed to I did a restore of the file. Not taking any chances I used the option of restoring to another location. I checked the contents of the restored file and the original file plus the changes were restored as intended. Everything seemed to work as slick as a button on an outhouse door until I tried to delete the restored file. I keep getting an error message saying "Cannot delete file, Unable to read from the source file or disk" Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the restored file?

jelenko Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 After getting the error message, can you still open the file? You could try running chkdsk /r [/r takes longer, but if there aren't issues from /f, you'd still want to run /r] And, there is always the "Reboot and see if that fixes it". Another idea - any chance that the backup was made by a different 'user' than the one used to restore it? I.e., if that were the case, maybe something going on with user permissions [although that doesn't sound like an error from failed user permission] Good luck.
