This can come about when the files is being used by windows or the file is taged 
as read only/hidden or the file is empty/blank.
Did it give you a name of the file name that didn't exists ?

exists=" To have actual being; be real"
empty=" Holding or containing nothing."
Some text files can be this way,just a file name or just a place holder.
You will see this alot of the time in ISO files or on cd's.
Name.txt ,file size= 0000kb



τΏτ DEX/Bj You can also help some one :>) Please revisit your post so that others on this forum will know if the solutions were helpful or not helpful .
