| 01-12-2012 | #1 |
| | Unable to Delete 0 byte Folder I have a folder that is 0 byte size. When trying to delete it I am told 'Could not find this item' and the delete is unsuccessful. Have tried a programme called 'Eraser' but this did not work either. Advice would be appreciated. Asus G53S, Windows 7 Home Premium x64 16Gb RAM 1Tb HDD |

| Vista and Windows7, sometimes Ubuntu and Fedora | It may be a system folder and zero bytes does not neccessarily mean it is empty or used for something. |

| | Open a Command Prompt. Enter d: Enter cd D:\Downloads\Torrents Enter dir Does the Torrrents directory show up? If so, enter cd torrents, see if you can actually change into that directory. If yes, enter cd .. (that's cd dotdot) then rmdir torrents /s See what that does for you. Quote: >rmdir /? Removes (deletes) a directory. RMDIR [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path RD [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path /S Removes all directories and files in the specified directory in addition to the directory itself. Used to remove a directory tree. /Q Quiet mode, do not ask if ok to remove a directory tree with /S |
