If you're lazy, you can try going to the command prompt and typing "attrib +s +h <file>" so you don't have to look at it, even if it's still there. ;)

Well, a lot of people have their explorer set to see System and Hidden files, so I'm not sure if that would really work. :/

Ok

#1 Sef, i cant download that program, doesnt seem to work :(

#2 cemines, i willt ry tonight, i should also point out that the file has been here for like 2 days, rather curiously also the last time i defragged.

#3 belgrath, tried that, even booted in command prompt and in safe mode, both times i get

Cannot delete DA5467~1.NK: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

#4 Sunnyb, doesnt work, tried it.

#5 Jason, please go into more detail, i dont understand what your saying.

none of the other suggestions work.

open it in notepad, see if it has anything in it. if it does, post it.

the ACL is the access control list that is on NTFS volumes only. to set permissions for that file, make sure "use simple file sharing' is turned off in control panel > folder options > view menu. then right click the file, choose properties, click the security tab. make sure the administrators group has full control, and make sure NO ONE has any permissions denied. you can add yourself and give yourself full controls, but again, make sure no deny permissions have been given to any users/groups. click ok and then try to delete the file.

finally, run chkdsk /r on the drive, that will do a more thorough scan on the drive and might fix it, but it will take a while to finish.

so there is no security tab for that file only, every other file has a secruity tab, then that is weird

yeah i would run scan disk and then defragment my drive then if it is still there i would just leave it be.

The plot thickens!!! I was looking to free up HD space and i went to D:\ and found this; its a log of my recent chkdisk 2 days ago. Can some tell me what its saying.

    • I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
