Solved "Ghost" folder - will not remove after deletion

[sekoron]

Hello.

I created a certain folder for animation purposes and now want to delete it.
I did so, but the folder refused to delete [even after dragging to recycle bin, and right clicking and selecting delete].

- I restarted the computer and it's still there.
- I tried to rename it, and Win7 says that the folder does not exist on the desktop. There's no other place I saved/moved it to.
- I tried to create a folder with the same name. It did, but the "ghost folder" is still there.
- I uninstalled the program that I used to make the folder. No luck.
- I can still use the folder like any other folder, but it makes a copy of itself somewhere else on my desktop.

It's becoming increasingly frustrating... how can I remove it for good?

Hello Sekoron,

You might see if you may be able to use the free program Unlocker to delete it.

Hope this helps,

Oh my goodness, thank you so much!
It worked perfectly.
I'll lock this thread after I restart my computer tomorrow.
Thanks again!!
