(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I think my external hard drive is corrupted, now when I insert it into my laptop I can only see an empty folder named "ROMS" a text document named "SEN" and a very small file named "USBC". The hard drive still shows a been almost full (250 GB capacity).

Sounds like you've not deleted things properly, I suggest formatting your external, also defragging.

Thanks, I've bought an internal so I will find out how to install that and use it. How do I delete things properly?

Edit: I take it all of those game files are now lost?

Yes they will be, unfortunately. If you can't see them then there's no way of retrieving them.

If you're happy with the responses on both your threads please let me know so I can close them to avoid clutter, thanks.
