Strange File Names


 I have a bunch of files with names using lots of  squareboxes and foreign characters that I cannot delete.  I get an error msg:
"Cannot delete:  Cannot Read from the Source file or Disk".

How can I get rid of them.  I have both files and folders.

TIA,

Jess

They are on an External HD.  I have not tried anything more than a normal delete at this point.
