Author Topic: Cant Delete a Folder (Read 2155 times)

GT-7 · « **on:** January 27, 2008, 05:18:37 AM »

Well i have got this small problem for ages already, but first at all, im the admin of our computer, and this is the problem.

I got a weird file in my music folder which i cant delete. And inside the file in another file and so on for like 5 times. Then when i come to the last file, it doesnt allow me to access on it.. It shouldnt be any system file because the folders/files names are bands/albums names ive had sometime on my computer. And when i try to delete the folder, it says that

"The folder [name] includes destinations which are too long to the trash can. Do you want to delete the file ultimately?"

When i press YES, it takes couple seconds, and then says: "You can't delete folder [name]: The content isint empty."

So that is my problem

Tweak UI / Tweak XP. Or change it so you cant see it.

Try with Unlocker. It deletes/moves every file you want without bitching.

Find a program called Killbox. Deletes anything you want, including windows directory

It's because it's making it seem in use.

Do the 'delete on next shutdown/boot up thingy. That should do it.

Yeah those are the programs I've used in the past also. Sometimes you can remane a file or folder, to something really stupid so you remember it's name, reboot and you might be able to delete it. There's also starting your PC in safe mode and from there you might be able to get rid of it.
