Bad directory name delete error

(1/2) > >>

anon232:
I was using a "wise folder hider" to hide a folder and had to recenty format my system.
Now this s/w uses a directory name of "..." to hide the folders which are really difficult to delete.
Can someone help me??
I have attached the screenshots of the directory name and the result of delete operation.

I do not know what wise does to name files and folder to "....", since that is not a valid file/folder name. But I guess it installs something in the computer and it hook it self into Windows and override something in windows.

You probably need to use the wise to unhide it.

What should I pay attention to about my hidden data?
Please be sure you have unhidden all your hidden data before you reinstall your Windows OS, delete partition or format a disk. Also, The hidden data will be lost if your storage media has something wrong(such as File System error, Physical demage).

Thanks for stating the obvious but you're not helping and moreover that data is absolutely recoverable unless that partition is formatted.
