Can't delete filename with invalid character windows 10


[Filename has invalid character ][1]


Solution

  • Use the Windows explorer: the command prompt has limited ability for displaying and handling strange characters, hence the usage of the Windows explorer is advised for such matters.

    As mentioned in the ServerFault URL, you might do the following:

    chkdsk /F
    Reboot the PC
    Use the Windows explorer again for deleting the file
