| | cannot delete folder (even safe mode) Strange issue. In my downloads folder, I had one folder of icons from an unziped zip file (clean of antivirus or spyware). Strange enough, I now cannot delete the actual folder and sub-folders! I even replicated this in safe mode too. I am on an admin account as well and have full permissions "all" on the folder.

| | You can have a try to restart your computer? and then to delete them. If that still doesn't work, try file shredder tools in Glary Utilities (free). But please note, once files are deleted by file shredder, they are unrecoverable. So, make sure those files you want to delete are indeed invalid and unused. |

| | Try using 7zip to open the folder and delete stuff. Works good for finding leftover stuff that didn't get deleted in the recycle bin. |
