Solution to the syntax error of file name, directory name or volume label in win7 deletion file prompt.

The problem of "incorrect file name, directory name or volume label syntax" appears when Win7 deletes files, which may be caused by disk errors, file or directory damage, file path problems, etc. Here are some possible solutions:

Method 1: Check and repair disk errors.

Open "My Computer" and find the disk where the file cannot be deleted.

Right-click the disk and select Properties.

In the pop-up properties window, find "Tools" and click the left mouse button.

Click "Start check (c)" in the error column.

Pop up the disk check window, check the small boxes in front of the two disk check options, and then click "Start".

If "Windows cannot check the disk in use, do you want to start the computer to check the hard disk error next time?" When prompted, click Schedule Disk Check to restart your computer.

Method 2: Delete with WinRAR software.

Right-click the file that cannot be deleted, find and click the triangle after "WinRAR".

Click Add to Compressed File (a) in the right-click menu.

In the compressed file name and parameters window that pops up, find "Compression Options", click "Delete the original file after compression (D)", name the compressed file 123.rar (you can name the compressed file at will), and then click "OK".

At this point, the original folder becomes a compressed folder, then right-click the folder and select Delete.

Method 3: Crush with a document crusher.

You can also use a file shredder to delete files that cannot be deleted. Drag the files that cannot be deleted to the window of the shredder and smash them thoroughly.

If the above methods fail to solve the problem, it is recommended to seek professional technical support.
