So, theres this file that appeared in my sd card called "usbcçh_." for no apparent reason, and now if i try to delete it, or the folder that its in, my computer just says "The filename you've specified is either invalid or too long. Specify a different filename." and when i try to open it my computer says "The specified path does not exist. Check the path, then try again." I really have no idea what to do, so if anyone has any suggestions, or knows about anything about this, any help would be appreciated.
Random file appeared on my sd and i cant delete it

Then you can use the File Locksmith utility and see what holds the file. Plus you can also scan what is access it, makes it.
In some circumstances you can use winrar too. If you add it to a winrar archive and use the file deletion option to delete the file after archiving, it might delete it too. It has done for me in the past with files that refuse to delete. Winrar is able to deal with files with long names, hidden and/or unicode characters in their filenames better than windows does. You can also try renaming the file in winrar to something with a known file extension like .txt and see if you can delete that.

interesting. i like the winrar idea. if that fails, maybe boot into linux and remove it that way? or just copy any important files to a folder in your Downloads or Documents folder and reformat the SD card (and not your hard drive) probably the quickest solution you can do without downloading anything extra. So you right click the SD card, it won't be C: drive. It will be some other letter. usually with a SD card icon, and select format, file system set to fat32 and everything else leave as is with quick format enabled and hit OK or whatever. also just thinking out loud the 1.4gb size reminds me of a gc rom I could be wrong. If you're missing a file it probably got corrupted.
