Try deleting it using YBrowser. You can download YBrowser from

Re: deleting on the n96

Even I have the same problem on my nokia n78. I moved the photos using some 3rd party software, but the phone shows them as broken arrows icons , but when I try deleting, it shows "General:System Error"

Re: deleting on the n96

Something must've corrupted the image database.

 

You could try this:

 

Find the "private" folder in the Mass Memory or Memory card (depending on where the pictures were originally installed) then rename it to private_old or something like that. Reboot the phone, open the Photos program and let it find the pictures again.

 

Do the same in video center and the Music player.

 

You need to use YBrowser, FXplorer or another browser that will let you see hidden files.

You can also try connecting it to your PC in USB mode and scan it with an antivirus. Had the same problem and My antivirus can resolved it. Hope it helps.
