you need to confirm this operation

foobar isn't running.

i tried unpacking the foobar installer to this folder. now it's empty but for one file - a zero-byte empty file with a blank name and no extension.

i tried killbox with no luck...

~edit~

just tried mst IsUsedBy. the file is not in use by any processes

Have you tried deleting that 0-byte file first, and then deleting the folder?

i sure have :)

Try this:

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Navigate INTO the folder you are trying to delete
3. Make sure that no file icons are selected
4. Hold down the <SHIFT> key, then right-click an area of the folder view that does not contain any icons
5. In the popup menu, select the "Open Command Window Here" item
6. In the command window, type "ATTRIB -R -H -S -A *.*" (without quotes) then press <ENTER>
7. When the ATTRIB command is done, type "ERASE *.*" (without quotes), then press <ENTER>
8. When ERASE is done, type "EXIT" (without quotes) then press <ENTER> t close the command window
9. Try to delete the folder again.

In the above, if you get any messages, note them and post back with the results.

If you still can't delete the folder, I have some other options for you to try, but I'll need the FULL path name of the folder you are trying to delete (right click the Windows Explorer address bar, then select "Copy Address As Text")

With Admin priviledges, open a command prompt, then type
rd foobar /s /q

this is supposed to remove all files and folders in foobar, including foobar itself, without asking if it is ok.
