How to fix "The File or Directory is corrupted and unreadable" (Error 0x80070570)
Question by Laura89 | 2015-10-17 at 22:28
I get the following error message whenever trying to open a specific folder on my external hard drive (the other folders are working well).
Location is not available H:\... is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.
Even deleting the directory is not possible anymore. When I try to delete the folder, I get the following other error message.
An unexpected error is keeping you from deleting the folder. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem. Error 0x80070570: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.
I have tried to search for this error code, but I cannot find anything helpful. Does someone know how to fix this error?
I expect that the folder broke when I dragged the USB cable from the hard drive to early out of my computer at a time, the file has not been copied completely.
