Hi,

I have a very strange problem with my Kindle Touch.
The long and the short of it is that there are some corrupt, undeletable files on it which is causing the kindle to not work.

Basically I cannot download new content and it appears to be because the file system/book database is corrupt.

I have been using Calibre
Have tried numerous resets/factory resets ranging from holding down power for 10-60 seconds. Takes AAAGGGEEESSS to restart

Files get stuck on indexing, so tried to delete them.
Certain files are corrupted (going in through windows explorer) so could not be deleted.
Bit the bullet and formatted the drive
On factory reset, to my surprise all the files that were delete reappeared, as if some internal copy had been put back on the accessible partition (it has done this several times) with all the corruption issues

I can read the content that's on there but something is very wrong here.
Would be very grateful for any help!

Thanks
Gareth
