Hi
I tried what you said and most of the contents of the folder was deleted but one subfolder I've got message: "Access is denied".
What I suppose to do to delete this folder ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Zungul,
What's the full path of the folder? I just wanted to make sure that this is not a important Windows system folder that should not be deleted first. :)

Need Help With Folder
This is the path of the folder I want to delete.
Z:\Kevin\MEGA\JDownloader\Kevin
I just tried this in Command Prompt and I get this message.
I have tried everything to delete this folder and nothing seems to work. I have tried Unlocker, LockHunter. This is the message I get when I try to right click and delete it.
I have also tried sfc/scannow and chkdsk and nothing. This is not the drive the OS is on.

I had the same problem Kevin, this is what worked
I had the same problem Kevin and this is what worked for me...
*do not type in the "s below
1. Open the command prompt (cmd.exe)
2. go to the directory that the folder is in...example: I want to delete the folder "C:\Users\Noodle\Downloads\Plumb - Hang On (The Remixes)" so type "cd C:\Users\Noodle\Downloads"
3. at this point you should be at C:\Users\Noodle\Downloads in the cmd window. Now type in "dir /a /x /p"
4. You will get a list of the directories in the folder and the one I'm interested in was
07/04/2010 19:08 <DIR> PLUMB-~1 Plumb - Hang On (The Remixes)
5. I ran the cmd.exe as admin (when it opens your prompt should be "c:\windows\system 32>"). Now I typed in...
rd /s /q "C:\Users\Noodle\Downloads\PLUMB-~1" (this time leave the "s in)
6. check to make sure the folder is deleted and you should be done.
From my understanding and I'm not a guru at this, there is naming issue and although the folder should have been named "Plumb - Hang On (The Remixes)", it is recognized as "PLUMB-~1". Anyways, I had the same problem and this is what worked for me. I hope this helps and good luck.

PS the example I used, I patched together from different sites that I used to figure this out.Last edited by Norp; 27 Sep 2011 at 16:36. Reason: clarification

@Shawn Yes I did.
@Norp Didn't work.
I just went ahead and copied files to a different drive and then formatted the drive. Everything is good now.
Thanks Again,
Kevin

Access to file denied
I can get to the directory I want to delete but I get a message that access is denied when I try to delete either folders or files. This is happening with 5 folders of left-over update stuff.
