Deleting Folders in Symbolically Linked Drives

[NorthernSink23]

This is driving me nuts!

I have a hard drive with two partitions, C: (Windows and Programs) and D: (Music). I've mounted the music drive as a folder on the C: so it looks like this now:

My Computer
----C:
--------C:\music
------------clip1.wav
------------clip2.wav
----D:
--------D:\music
------------clip1.wav
------------clip2.wav


I did this using Windows Disk Management so it's very fast and smooth and works just as if it's another folder, with the ONE exception. I can not delete folders when I'm browsing via C: drive. I can, however, go into the C:\music folder and delete individual files, just not folders.

Final Question: How do I delete folders in symbolically linked drives in Windows XP? Does this functionality even exist?

Try the rmdir command from the console

Should have mentioned that doesn't work. Regardless, it would be inconvenient to execute a console command everytime I wanted to remove a folder.

Anyway, to answer my own question, NTFS Link (http://elsdoerfer.name/=ntfslink), makes Windows Explorer handle junctions correctly. Also use the fsutil app can be used delete and query reparse points.

At least I'm more knowledgeable about the NTFS file system now.
