    there's this file, I try to delete it, windows tells me: "cannot delete quiksave: the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.".

    I try to delete it from the command prompt, I get a "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable"

    Try one of the below to delete that file

    1. Pocket Killbox
    2. MoveOnBoot this one, once you dragNdrop the file or browse for its location, deletes the file on reboot, so any applications that have locked the file are not running so cannot lock it before deletion.. my fav!
    3. Unlocker
