When you install a program or delete a file or folder, error 0x80070570 may appear. The following is the error message verbatim:<\/p>\n

An unexpected error is keeping you from deleting the folder. If you continue to receive this error, you can use this error code to search for help with this problem.\r\n\r\nError 0x80070570: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
\"0x80070570<\/p>\n
As the error message states, this happens if the file or directory is corrupted. Running a disk check fixes this issue.<\/p>\n
Resolution<\/h2>\n
Option 1: Run Disk Error Checking<\/h3>\n
Running the disk error checking tool (alternative solution to Chkdsk) may also fix the issue without requiring a reboot.<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Open File Explorer \u2192 This PC<\/li>\n
  2. Right-click on the drive-letter (where the corrupted file or directory is located), and click Properties.<\/li>\n
  3. Click Tools \u2192 click on the “Check” button.<\/li>\n
  4. Click “Scan drive<\/strong>” and complete the procedure.
    \n\"disk<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    If the Error Checking tool finds some file system errors and prompts to fix them, follow the onscreen instructions and let the tool rectify the errors. The results of the Error Checking operation is logged in the Application Event log<\/a>.<\/p>\n
    Option 2: Run Chkdsk<\/h3>\n
    If disk error checking using the above method doesn’t help, do a thorough repair using Chkdsk. The command “Chkdsk \/R<\/code>” locates bad sectors and recovers readable information (implies \/F<\/code>, when \/scan<\/code> not specified).<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. Open an administrator Command Prompt<\/a> window:<\/li>\n
    2. Type the following command and press Enter<\/kbd>:\n
      chkdsk c: \/r<\/pre>\n
      \"run<\/p>\n
      (This assumes that the corrupted file or folder is located on the C: drive. If not, change the drive letter accordingly in the above command line.)<\/em><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    3. Type Y<\/code> when you see the following prompt:\n
      The type of the file system is NTFS.\r\nCannot lock current drive.\r\n\r\nChkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another\r\nprocess. Would you like to schedule this volume to be\r\nchecked the next time the system restarts? (Y\/N)\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
    4. Restart the computer and let the system complete the disk checking procedure automatically.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
