Not sure how well this works with remote drives - presumably
depends what the drive actually is. But if it's eg a USB-connected
drive then you could try:

* Right-click on the offending drive

* Choose Properties

* Choose Tools tab

* Choose Error Checking

This option did the job perfectly and only took about a minute.
Everything still there, even in the offending folder :-)

Thank you everyone for your replies.

I use a Justop device to run my WMII and Blake-Larsen sun recorder, it's a little device, low power, with just 28.2Gig hard drive. After doing the latest Windows 10 feature update I used the option of removing 'old' versions of Windows, this subsequently freed up over 6Gig :-)
