hi, I got "a device which does not exist was specified" error on my hard drive only on two specific folders. I just want to delete those. Interestingly, I could find anything on the internet. Any ideas?

Hello, my name is Gaston, I am an independent consultant.

Perform an error check on your disk

Right-click on the problem drive, then select Properties.

Then go to Tools and in this window select "Check now ..."

In this new box, check both options and wait for the process to finish, and then check if your problem is solved.

Cordially
