Hacking How do I wipe these files off my MicroSD card?

[Kirby6417]

I was moving around some games on my MicroSD card when it all of a sudden froze for a sec, as though I had pulled it out of my computer right there. Then some of the files corrupted (I just backed them all up earlier tonight. Whew!) So I deleted them all, but now there are 3 that just won't disappear. They are called:

robots!.
e4rk-g.sdd
Golden_S.un_

I have no idea how they got these names or what they are, but they can't be deleted. WHen I try to delete or move them, it says: Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disc.

And if I try to format it, it says I can't because some applications are running or something (and clearly there is nothing running on it; just those 3 corrupt files.)

Damn. I'm such a noob at this stuff. Thanks in advance, folks.

reformat it will automatically wipe everything.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, that's not working. I find the MicroSD card as a storage device on my computer, right click it, and click format. After I set that up and press ok, it tells me some of its applications are in use.

umm you reformatted it you have to restart your computer because your used the windows one or just refresh your my computer OR use zizers Panasonic sd formatter.

Try restarting your computer

Also, if you're on windows xp, try this:

1) Open task manager
2) Go to the processes tab
3) Find explorer.exe, a lot of stuff will disappear, it's ok
4) Go to the Applications tab
5) Click "New Task"
6) In the window that appears, type in explorer.exe and click ok

NOTE: This won't work on windows Vista or 7
