I don't think it's "locked" though. I've tried that "take command thing", various other un-locker type programs and features that un-lock things in other programs. I'm hoping that check dick will fix it. I mean everything else is working fine, computer boots ok, nothing else crashes or is acting funny, just can't delete that stupid corrupted folder. Just have to try it when I get home.

My dvd is at home, so that will probably be another thing I might have to try if check disk fails me.

I had to "sanitize" 50 Windows boxes with all kinds of previledges, passwords, locked folders/files, corrupted files, you name it. I found the best tool was a bootable CD with Puppy (or Knoppix) Linux - boot to Puppy, mount the hard drive and delete the user folder, corrupt files, anything that I needed. Never had a problem using that method.

You could also try rebooting into safe mode, delete the files inside that folder, then delete the folder.

Hi, try this, while you are waiting, Open a new folder on the desktop or somewhere handy, now go to the folder that
you cannot delete, and right click on it and select Cut, Paste it into the new folder and see if you can delete it from there. |
