powerpoint >> Doc. Recovery - Cannot Delete file

by TWFydHlP » Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:04:14 GMT

Hi there,
When I open Powerpoint, there are two files that I created a while ago, that
I can't seem to get rid of in the Document Recovery task bar.

When I go through the process to either recover them or delete them, no
matter what I get an error message "Cannot delete file: cannot read from the
source disk or file".
any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Marty

Where are the files? Are they on a CD or jump drive or network folder or
something?

They've been deleted. Not sure why PWP is insistant on recovereing them. But
in any case, it won't let me delete them from the Document Recovery process.

Odd. Some kind of glitch where it still sees those files when it tried to
recover them.

You might run Office Diagnostics (Office Button | PPT Options | Resources).

If that doesn't do it, I'd probably make an empty file -- just one slide --
and put it in the folder where PPT is looking to recover those files. Of
course, I'd name it the same as the file PPT is looking for, too. Then
delete it from the recovery pane.
