I don't want to lose everything on the drive, just 1 folder. I don't understand why I can delete other folders but not this one.

What's in the folder, and have you checked the security tab?

All that is in the folder is audible audio books and a bin folder. I have tried the security tab. It's very strange I'm able to delete other things off the drive just not this folder.

Just noticed that in the attributes box in Properties the box read only is checked. I try unchecking it and it says I need admin permissions.

Try this. It's a little long winded, but it works:- Right-click on the folder, then select "Properties"
- Open the "Security" tab
- Click "Edit"
- Click "Add"
- Click "Advanced"
- Click "Find Now"
- In the list that appears, select your user name then click "OK"
- Click "OK" again
- Make sure your user name is selected, then add a check mark to "Full Control" in the permissions list.
- Click "OK"
- Click "Advanced"
- Open the "Owner" tab
- Click "Edit"
- Select your user name
- Add a check mark to the "Replace owner..." box
- Click "OK".
- Click "OK" when the "You have taken ownership" message appears.
- Click "OK"
- Click "OK"
@FrostMourne: What the hell kind of advice do you give if you recommend that someone formats a drive to delete a folder?????

Nope no good. I disconnected the drive and tried to delete it on my laptop that runs vista same problem. I think the folder must be corrupted somehow, not sure. Just wish I could get it off of read only and delete the thing. It's taking up 83 gig on the drive.
