When attempting to display a directory (sorry, I'm strictly GUI for now because I'm new to this) I get the following error for a folder that reads flawlessly when attached to various Windows boxes.
This location could not be displayed.
Sorry, could not display all the contents of “diskname”: Error when getting information for file '/media/abc/etcetc/Personal Folders/IMG_0035.JPG': Input/output error
I am willing to toss the file to see if it resolves but I don't know how to do that yet. I am going to get the appropriate terminal script and get to work on that but I thought I would ask here in the meantime.
Is there some way to find out why it hangs on the one file?
What is the easiest way to toss the file?
UPDATE:
After trying to change the settings to suppress thumbnails (thanks user3121023) and using newly learned commands in the terminal, I am still stuck. The command line returned the same error.
I will mount the drive on a Windows box later and try to see if I can resolve it there. I should at least be able to remove the file.
rm "/media/abc/etcetc/Personal Folders/IMG_0035.JPG"
. Since there is a space between Personal and Folders, you will need to put quotes(") around the path. Run that command from a terminal. You can start a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+t on the keyboard.
