I'm trying to clear files on my Windows 10 machine which I upgraded when W10 went live and I didn't have any problems at the time.

I've tried entering "sfc /scannow" in the command prompt but it didn't help

When I go to delete files I get a "Invalid MS-DOS function" error.

Had same issue. Unable to resolve.
Did chkdsk /f and later chkdsk /r.
Did disk cleanup and it worked.

I had the same problem, I just selected the file on File Explorer and instead of just clicking on the big red delete button, I pressed the small arrow underneath and clicked Permanently Delete. Hope this helps!
