I am unable to remove some unwanted files files from my portable external hard drive WD My passport for Mac.

I keep getting the following message>
The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50).

Any thoughts on how I can remove unwanted stuff from portable drive?
Thank you

Hello,

It is possible the partition is corrupted and the computer is having issues writing to the drive.

If possible try formatting the drive (this will delete all data from it). Make sure you safe important data to another drive before formatting.
