Can't delete or rename empty folder due to network problem
Hello,
My laptop is attached to a network server (drive H: which is only accessible by me and the admin) On there I have an empty folder that just will not delete. I tried many things and read multiple threads.... This puzzles me.
When I hit delete in Win Explorer simply nothing happens. No error message, nada! The folder stays where it is... on the H: drive.
When I try to rename or cut/paste the folder, I get a dialog box (see attached).
Extra info that may be useful:
All this is very frustrating. I welcome your thoughts.
- The H: drive is synched to my C: drive (a little green circle with yellow arrows can be seen on the H: drive icon) so I can access the H: drive even when I am not on the network. However, even when I am offline I can't do anything with the folder.
- The folder is empty (0 bytes, no hidden files in it)
- I tried LockHunter. When I ask if anything is blocking the folder it says no (see attached). When I delete the folder from within LockHunter it says it has been successfully sent to the recycle bin, but the folder stays where it is.
Best regards,
Stefan
