matthewk Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Try restoring the folder from the recycle bin. Rename the folder to "abc". Where the folder exist, make (then run) remove.bat file with the contents:rd abc /s /q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delprat Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Did you tried CHKDSK /F ?If it does not solve that, look at google for "alternate data streams" and you'll found tools for removing them.bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

member11 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 some programs are trying to access to this folder. Try to restart your computer and delete.if it doesn't work, try to delete it from command prompt or recovery console. It should do the job.
