browney595 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Right Click the folder and select security -> advanced -> Owner then edit the page and ensure that you are the owner and you should gain full control over the file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacesurfer Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 when you search, you are probably pulling up a "recent document" rather than the actual folder. it's just a shortcut to it. if it's gone, it might really be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
