Windows 2012 R2 - ReFS - Can not delete file with invaild name

I have a file, its name is ÿÿÿÿ.out
its in a network share.  its causing the backups to fail on it because its invalid.
in the past on NTFS i would just run chkdsk and then it would fix something like this.  but can't do that on this.
Chkdsk just says "Refs doesn't need to be checked"
tried from the GUI also, same thing "volume doesn't need checking"
also i tried the magical "maintenance" on server 2012 properties.   nothing
i've tried all sorts of command prompt tricks...  Also i've created file names in the same folder like "asdfalksdjfhsalkfsafddsaf.txt" and deleted them (just in cause the name length might be the issue because its in a long folder tree)
Its a file name, called ÿÿÿÿ.out   
Any ideas ?

Hi,
I just discussed this issue in this thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4a90066d-aa2d-4f57-976e-ec1b65a4bcec/weird-behavior-with-refs?forum=winserverfiles
It seems that ÿ is not supported as a file name in Refs file system.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

    You might want to make sure your credit card is listed in the billing information associated with your Apple ID (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918).
    Also, to change the From name that appears when you address emails on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
    To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

  • Can not delete file. Error is "Could not find this item".

    I get the following error when trying to delete a file:  "Item not found".  This is a Word 2007 document that would not save properly so I saved it with a different name.  Now I can't delete the original file.
    The body of the error states "Could not find this item.  This is no longer located in... . Verify the item's location and try again.

    Hi,
    I'm having exact the same problem with a file with a long name, to delete, move, rename, attribute change, etc. I deleted the file, which I receive the confirmation. However, the file is still there, with zero bytes and no extension. When I try
    to delet, move or change the file, I get the error "Could not find this item, This is no longer located in xxx. Verify the item's location and try again."
    I tryed everything: Using DOS, there's no 8.3 name format; In safe mode; chkdsk and sfc. Nothing worked.
    I also tryed the tricks in http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/27924-could-not-find-item-when-deleting-files-3.html

  • I can not delete process with correlation

    Hi,
    WE have an XI 3.0 SAP system (stack 16) and I cannot do exactly what SAP Note 807906 ("BPE-TS: Deleting process with correlations") describes:
    If you are certain that the process is no longer required, call the log of the affected process (using the process selection (SWF_XI_SWI1)) or the SXMB_MONI, ... and display the work item of the process (Workflows).
    Go to the technical work-item display (if this is not displayed by default) and then select Edit => Change there.
    Under 'Services for Administration', select the 'Logical Deletion' function.
    In my case, after going to the "work-item display", the "change" option appears in grey and cannot be selected... burtnot only this option cannot be selected but most of them in the wholw menu...
    ¿Any clue of what´s happening?
    Regards

    Hi,
    Thanks for the answer.
    The fact is that TX SWWL is the same as report RSWWWIDE (it deletes physically in DB and affects the workload). The difference with TX SWF_XI_SWI1 is that I could delete entries of my choice logically and I would have to wait only for the next table switch....
    I would like to try to make TX SWF_XI_SWI1 working well...
    thanks,

  • Find and delete files with common name in different directories

    I have hundreds of invisible files in many different directories on my 10.4.11 server with .fstemp at the beginning of their name.
    They are taking up space and I would like to delete them.
    I can find them using
    find . -type f -name .fstemp
    But I can't work out how to use the rm command with a wildcard to delete them - I don't want to have to visit many different directories and run rm.
    Do I need to pipe the results from the find to rm ?
    For extra credit (you can probably tell I am out of my comfort zone here)... the files are all locked. I believe they will need to have
    chflags nouchg /Directory/filename
    applied to unlock them before they can be deleted. Can the terminal pipe find|chflgs|delete?
    Thanks,
    b.

    Well, if they weren't locked you could just 'delete' them in the find command. Otherwise …
    Open the Terminal (from /Applications/Utilities) and copy and paste the following into the Terminal window, one line at a time, with a return after each line:
    sudo -s
    find / -type f -name ".fstemp*" -exec echo 'chflags nouchg "{}" && rm -f "{}"' ; | sh
    I have tested this, but obviously with some substitutions. You only need the double quotes around the curly brackets, "{}", if your filenames contain a space.
    To be on the safe side, you should check this out without the final "| sh". Then you will see the commands that would be executed with the full version.
    Finally type exit to get out of the root shell.

  • Can't copy file with # in name to Panther server

    I have this problem with any file that has a "#" in its name, which is fairly common on Mac OS X , I think (the result of certain programs truncating the name)
    For example, from a computer running Panther, I can copy the file "list all movies in path copy#12345.app" up to any share on the server.
    From a computer running Tiger, I can copy the same file up to any share except one that's named "Backup2". When I try to copy up to that, I get the message "The operation is not permitted because you do not have sufficient priveleges for some of the items". I've checked and re-checked, all the permissions are fine.
    It's almost like "Backup2" is acting like a a samba share and restricting the name. "Backup2" has exactly the same settings as the other shares, but it's the only share with a number in it's name.
    The Tiger clients are running 10.4.3, the server is a G5 xserve running 10.3.9 server, with an xraid. The shares are on the xraid.
    Any thoughts on why this would happen?

    Apple "support" has so far done nothing to help me resolve this, after telling me that they were escalating it to a higher level of support.
    My theory is this: One of my XRAID controllers died. When Apple's on-site service came to replace it, they didn't properly seat the new one, which resulted in my losing the right hand array. After reseating it, I had to re-initialize the right hand (lower controller) array and restore my data. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the replacement controller had an older firmware rev. I upated it later, but my belief is that I will need to re-initialize it for this problem to go away. I haven't been able to do that yet, because it will take me around 3 days to restore 1.3 TB of data.

  • CAN NOT DELETE FILE ?!

    This is odd:
    I have listed certain files on a JSP page. When I click the filename you are prompted to a another page where you can modify information the file contains. If I try to delete the file, the file simply exists???
    The file is a serialized object, but that should not cause the problem?
    I am using TomCat 4.0.2
    File f = new File( "filename.dat" );
    if( f.exists() && f.canWrite() ){
    if( f.delete() )
         System.out.println("File deleted.");                                   
    The scope is session on the JSP page.
    Any help would be great!!
    -Eki

    I am having the same problem too.
    After reading so many article in the forum regarding to this issue and the solution other people posted. None of them is useful.
    They are all wrong.
    It is not because of the thread issue. It is not because of it is not exist or something else
    It is because, no matter what webserver you are using, the jsp in default is prohibit you from delete any file in the server side.
    After long time of testing, I find out the solution.
    I am using the J2EE implementation server, but I believe other is similar.
    1. search for the server.policy file
    Mine is C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\security\server.policy
    I think other is webserver is similar
    Inside this section
    grant {
    permission java.net.SocketPermission "*", "connect";
    permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read";
    // workaround missing doPrivileged blocks in javamail
    permission java.io.FilePermission "${com.sun.enterprise.home}${/}lib${/}j2ee.jar", "read";
    permission javax.security.auth.PrivateCredentialPermission "javax.resource.spi.security.PasswordCredential * \"*\"", "read";
    permission javax.security.auth.PrivateCredentialPermission "javax.resource.spi.security.GenericCredential * \"*\"", "read";
    3. Insert this line in the between the grant block
    permission java.io.FilePermission "<<ALL FILES>>", "read,write,delete";
    4. Restart your server, it should work now.
