    From the screenshot it looks like you've got some weird infinite folder structure there, with subfolder inside subfolder, a bit like russian dolls.

    i.e. \new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\ new folder\

    if you browse the pen drive does this folder structure actually exist, and if there's nothing actually in it, can you delete it?

    Hello,

    As DannyBoy noted, it looks like you've got a recursively-pointing subdirectory entry in the file system for USB flash drive.

    I would suggest manually copying any files you wish to keep off of the SUB flash drive, and then either running CHKDSK against it to attempt a fix, or reformat it.

    Regards,

    hi dannyboy && agoretsky thankyou verymuch for your valuable suggestions.
    dannyboy yes i was able to browse the folders but while i tried to delete the folder it said "cannot delete file" and it won't let me remove the newfolder.

    agoretsky thanks a million i did chkdsk f: /R /F and bang it solved the problem.
    but all the docs inside newfolder were gone thank god there were not so important document.

    once again thankyou guys for the prompt suggestions
