new user :-) two program files folders; can't delete
Hi Guys,
I'm a little stumped by this which is unusual for me
OK, I was installing some x64 plugs yesterday and the default installer wasn't pointing to the right folder so i manually typed the correct path
c:\Program files\Steinberg\VST plugins
All seemed to go well until I looked at my C drive, I now have two identical folders saying Program files.
c:\Program files
c:\Program files
c:\Program files (x86)
I've changed permissions and taken full control and tried to delete the new one but it i get an error message saying the folder isn't empty.I've tried everything I can think of including safe mode etc but can't for the life of me delete this double folder.If I use the CMD line then it lists both folders with exactly the same name so I've no idea which one is the bogus one to try and delete from there.
I tried system restore and still the two folders came back again!!
The bogus folder is showing 0 file size and if I open it and try and open a folder inside i get an error message saying the file isn't in that location but I cant get rig of the bloody thing?
Thoughts guys? I'm on windows 7 x64 by the way.
