Drewdatrip Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 I have had this problem as well...im not quite sure as to why it occurs, but i have noticed that if you go into the directory in windows explorer and delete the files and floders on an individual basis, you wil not get the read only protection error. I hope i read your problem corectly, it seemed to have a bit of spanich in it but i think i got the question right.-Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewdatrip Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Like i said browse your way to the directory, " kayaka extreme ". look inside the folder and see the contents, then one by one delete each file and folder, if you find that one file gives you the error, just go to the next until you have delteted all but the one that gave you the error. The try to delete the final file. I know this isnt a very technical way of soving things, but i have found this to work in situations simialar to this.-Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micropocalypse Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 do you have show hidden files and folders enabled?go view - folder options - view - there should be a list of options, under Hidden files select "show all files" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zErO Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 follow Micropocalypse instructions and if it is a hidden file that you cannot delete, check its properties as there are some files that cannot be deleted by using the Win32 tool. Files such as .con or .nul cannot be removed by simply deleting them and will report an error when you attempt to. The solution is to not use win32 tools, you can remove them by either using a reskit or by simply renaming the culprite file which you can then delete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
