Re: Weird filenames



I can't say that I've had this exact same problem but I have had many issues
with stubborn files that just refuse to be deleted no matter what.  I've
found that DropNuke is the best utility to have for cases like this.  You
can download it from http://www.divnull.com/products.html   I have yet to
find a file DropNuke couldn't delete.

Give it a shot!
