Well it is rare for me to ask for help but I have tried all the simple methods that I know...
I have never encountered a problem like this, it really is more of an annoyance than anything else, but it is one I would like to resolve..
First of all, OS = WinXP pro Sp1a
And the View hidden folders and files option is set...
I know, I really should install SP2... eventually..
In my root directory I have a folder/directory that I cannot seem to delete, it contains 1 folder that I cannot delete as well, both are empty,I personally created the folder originally to download a couple programs into. Properties of both folders affirms they are empty as well as hovering the cursor above each in turn..
However, when I attempt to delete either of them I get a message - Cannot delete, Directory is not empty...
I have tried to move the folder to another drive in hopes that I could delete it from there, failed...
I have tried removing it in *Safe Mode, From the Administrator account, and even from the Command line with no joy..
I even went as far as trying the recovery console and received "Access Denied" errors message when attempting to delete the Directory/folders...
Another strange thing is when using the *Dir command on the folder it lists 2 files by date within them, but windows properties claims the folders are empty, I cannot type a path to the phantom files within, all I get in return is the creation dates, no file names...
Any ideas about how I can remove this thing from my HD?
Probably a simple solution,im just not getting it *Sigh*
Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed on my folder delema...
