Hi all, this time I have a stuck folder/files that was deleted from the bootcamp partition some weeks ago an it's getting on my nerves. iceclean won't fix it either. File info shows a locked subfolder but no read/write privileges, tried the permissions fixing routine too. i was waiting for 10.5.2 to fix this one but it did not. Any ideas?

Boot into Windows and delete it there, then empty the Recycle Bin? Then run the built-in defragmenter to make sure it's gone?
If you formatted your XP drive with NTFS, OS X can read it, but not write to it (natively) so you have to go into Windows to do many things-like naming the Windows partition, cleaning out the trash, and so on.

thanks ghporter and big mac, the files are no longer in windows and defragging the drive now in perfect disk, takes forever. but somehow i dont think it could be a fragment problem, but heres hoping.
Sudo? i always thought iceclean did that for ya, using sudo. but if you have the console command handy i will give it a wack.

no way they came back!!! after a reboot they are here again. do u think its snow patrol programmers? seriously, now the lock is gone, and the trash makes the shredding noise, but the files never shred. I actually think the files are not really there anymore, as doing sudo command found at the end of this blog: Tieng Viet.html - How To Delete the Undeletable
shows no files. so this must be some goofup between Parallels and OSX. dunno. irritating.

That's what NTFS-3G is for.
