just a bit of background info for you....
first up you necromanced a four year old thread which is never good forum practice [on any forum].
next, this forum is purely run by volunteers,
freely giving up their spare time to help others.
so if a post goes unanswered, it's probably because no-one can help you or the person that can has yet to log on and see it.
a couple of the Admin boys are now starting to chime in but they don't offer advice that doesn't have a company spin or product angle to it.
that's not their job.
if you have Recuva Pro, you have the option to raise a ticket for priority support.
if the USB stick was not reformatted after
purchase, it most likely was still a FAT32 partition which has a 2GB file limit, so the file may have just been able to be stored but is now corrupted due to the wiping and potential file size.
was that file stored anywhere else?
at the risk of stating the obvious, and yes that horse has already bolted so this won't help you now, but USB sticks like all storage medium will fail eventually, so always have your important data stored in more than one location.
@Augeas any ideas?

The file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect. How do I fix this?? Last edited by a moderator: Sep 24, 2019 Mar 13, 2011 10,957

Normally, this only happens when you use extended characters in a name [anything outside a-z A-Z or 0-9]. It's likely that the source of the problem is an ini file redirecting to the wrong folder/volume/file. The solution is to find and edit it to the correct path. Example of a file path: c: programfiles[x86]/crysis/crysis.exe]

'the file name, directory name or volume lable syntax is ncorrect; hexit is right^^^^ also take all spaces out of the folder names.. spaces are bad and ruin the system... ive been down that road!

no mate thats not what the problem is, the files he wants to delete are using a none standard naming system outside the typical 0-1 a-z A-Z lettering conventions. back in the days of 8,3 naming system we used to use characters like !"£$ and so on as the first letter to hide files and folders from the directory search. which meant unless you knew exactly what the file was called you could
never see it in the files and folders lists.
today it still shows up now and again. the files are easy enough to remove if you know what your looking for, but there still a pain when you come across them...
