    is it on a sd-card or usb-drive?
    then rightclick the device go to properties than choose the register tools and use the upper one (dont know its english name). Let it scan over the device and than you should be able to delete the file.
    Maybe the tool creates a folder Found000 on the device. To see and delete it configure windows to show hidden system-files.

    Sounds like the file got corrupted.

    I lost 2 games on my external drive because they corrupted themselves :(


    If this is on an external drive, back up everything to another drive for a moment, and reformat the entire thing-even though it's not working it's still taking space.


    If it's on your pc...same deal-but a bigger pain :(

    Try "chkdsk" by right clicking on your C drive and schedule that-if it reports no errors and the file ain't moving then a reformat is required.

    Seems like a hardware problem to me.

    Backup what files you can, and format your MicroSD. It's probably corrupted.
