Error Deleting file or folder

Error message
Cannot delete (name) : Data error (cyclical redundancy check).

I'm trying to delete a picture and this has happened more than on one file.
Anyone have a fix?

Rightclick the drive icon in Explorer, Properties, Tools menu, "Error
Checking"

It said unable to complete disk check and I still get error message when
trying to delete.

It's certainly a bad sign for the health of a hard drive is disk checking
fails. I would backup data asap. Booting to a XP setup disk lets you run
recovery Console. From that prompt you can try :
CHKDSK /R
to see if that fixes it.

You could try turning off Simple File Sharing, or, get a free program
called "unlocker". I use unlocker and have had excellent results.
