Could not find this item - Can't delete folder
I cannot delete or do anything with this empty folder.
I tried the command prompt, renaming folder or dragging folder into new folder, but every time, I get the same message.
"Could not find this item
This is no longer in.....verify the item's location and try again."
This problem started when I tried to rearrange the contents of this folder by opening another window of the same folder, so I could simply drag the items into same folder. The original folder had one folder A which contained 3 subfolders B,C and D.So when I dragged B,C and D into the window with folder A, everything suddenly disappeared. I was looking at 2 empty windows of the same folder. I have never seen this happen before. Tried to refresh, restart but both folders were still empty. But when I looked at the properties of one of the folders, I could see it still had files in it, while the other folder contained no files. So I deleted the empty folder and now I could finally see the files in the folder. After copying the folder to an external hd, I tried to delete it from my laptop, but I get the message - could not find this item.
I've also tried to nuke it with glary utilities file delete, but always get the same message, "Could not find the item."
Any suggestions?
