not able to delete new folder

[enricco7777]

i have downloaded video from tv channel on new folder then i deleted the video but the empty new folder cant be deleted . I tried :
-right click delete.
-ownership.
-command prompt in all cases.
-restore.
-all softwares that can unblock or delete on reboot.
-all same problem written to be solved on forum.
-safe mode.
-safe mode with connection.
-creat new folder and merge to delete.
-drag to recycle bin.

i used all these ways but cannot delete the new folder which is 0 bytes empty and when i try to delete in all above ways it says:

could not find this item

this no longer located in c:\users\soso\desktop.verify the item location and try again.

new folder

date created:6/5/2010 12:26am.


AND if itry to drag it to new folder it says folder not exist as when using command prompt too.


Please if you find a way to get rid of such phantomy file which stays there like a night mare.
thank you

This may sound dumb, but try a few F5 presses. Windows 7 seems to have this annoying problem with not refreshing promptly in some situations. Hey, XP never did that. :sarc:

Bye.

Several suggestions here that you may try

If the above fails as a lost resort try this tool. I have doubts under these circumstances

Thanks for reporting. That is the usual solution to the problem. I wanted to give all tht I had in case it did not work.
