    Unable to delete folders....


    Hi All,

    I've got a directory that contains several empty folders that I'd like to delete. When I attempt to delete the folders I get the error 'Could not find this item. This is no longer located in.....' I'd ignore this problem, but some software I've got throws up an error when it scans the directory, and finds these 'phantom' folders.....

    Any ideas??

    Thanks,

    John

    Malware bytes is a great anti-malware tool, which has a great tool built in called file assasin.

    Hi All,

    Hey, thanks for all the suggestions! The 'RD' command from the Elevated command Prompt did the trick!

    Thanks to all that responded!!

    Using the command usually works. Thanks to Brink and the Tutoruals.
