Change Log for the latest
XYplorer BETA version (64-bit):
Code: Select all
v28.40.0635 - 2026-11-14 14:08
+ Deleting Invalid Files: In Windows, a file name with a base name that matches one of
the following terms (regardless of the file extension) is invalid: CON, PRN, AUX,
NUL, COM1 through COM9, and LPT1 through LPT9. Such a file (e.g. "nul", "nul.txt",
or even "nul.blah.txt") cannot be deleted using standard methods.
However, XYplorer can now forcibly delete such files. Simply respond "OK" to the
"Invalid Filenames" prompt and the file(s) will be gone.
> To create a "nul" file for testing, run this through the Command Prompt (cmd):
echo. > "\\?\C:\Your\Path\nul"
! Invalid Files: Could not show size and contents (Raw View; Ctrl+MouseDownBlowUp) of
invalid files. Fixed.
