Hi guys..probably a small problem with an easy solution here but im a bit lost.

I was putting songs onto my mp3 player last night and my computer froze suddenly. I rebooted and went into the removable disk file to finish putting songs onto the mp3 player and there were files in there with weird names like Bea@lto etc. They're files that when you click open it asks you what program you want to use to open it. When I try to delete them it says "Cannot delete file: Cannot read from source file or disk". They're taking up a bit of space and the mp3 player won't play other songs if I put them on. I wish I could tell ye the make of the mp3 player...there's no name on it..only a weird symbol like two H's on their sides...it's only a cheap one I picked up somewhere..Any ideas would be great...thanks!
