Help! Can't delete something!!

Hey everybody, today I downloaded a skin for my SuperCard ds one sdhc and it wasn't working so i tried to delete it but this message appeared: «The name of this specified file isn't valid or is too long. Specify a different file name.» I tried to change the name of the file and the same message appeared so I can do nithing with this file. Can someone help me to delete it??

Try using a program called Eraser.
That may help.http://eraser.heidi.ie/Just be careful of what you delete.
Once it is deleted, it can NEVER be recovered.

actually...it's impossible to "permanently" delete anything...it is, and always will be, there....

Yes, but it supposedly makes it unretrievable without advanced technology or some shit.. I dunno.

well....if common people like me find that stuff on a free software site, it's not really that advanced....

Hehe. Like I said, I really don't know. I haven't even used the thing except once and it took too long to use again. :P

example of a freeware program....recuva

That can only attempt to recover whatever traces may be left. You'll never get a full file back from it unless you are VERY lucky.

that was just an example...there is much better stuff out there....but i've gotten TONS of complete files from it...(1327 MP3s and around 2,000 pics)

That's fine for small stuff, but usually I can easily get small stuff back. I'm thinking more stuff like NDS ROM sized. Also, the longer it's been gone, the harder it is to recover.

i recovered my adobe Master Collection CS5 7Z file....it was around 8GB....and it was complete....otherwise the installer wouldn't run.....

The length of time isn't so much a factor as whether the file has been saved over or not, a file doesn't disappear after being deleted; the space that it occupies is set as space that may be used for new saved data. Until the file is saved over, it can usually be recovered after deletion.

aaaah....makes since why i got my installer back! it was the only one out 7 that wasn't corrupt.....and i formatted, and reinstalled windows.....so makes since now! :)

It's me again, Eraser won't work and I'm desperate... It says that the program will shut down I don't even know why so.. I don't know what to do...

You can't delete it from your MicroSD card, correct? If that's the case, back up important stuff and format the card.If it's stuck on your actual hard drive by some fluke, I don't know.
