Need help deleting a corrupted folder
While testing a folder/file security program I've ended up with a folder that cannot be deleted. The folder had been hidden, perhaps encrypted, and (somehow) password protected. It now looks normal (although all the lower level folders and files have been renamed). However, when I try to delete the folder or any of its contents I get a popup saying "Could not file this item. This is no longer located in F:\. Verify the location and try again. F:\ is the proper path, and Windows Explorer shows the folder there.
I know I can reformat the drive, but it contains a lot of stuff that would have to be moved first. I'd rather not do that if there is an easier way.
Is there some way to tell Windows to delete a file whose name does not match its entry in its containing directory? (Or whatever the problem is here.)
