Need help deleting file...

[josh609]

THere is a folder on my desktop that i can't delete, it says the file on the drive is not there. How can i delete it, even though i see the folder? It's not being used at all......there is just some pictures in it......

 

[daniel49]

have you tried deleting it in safe mode?

make sure your windows explorer isnt in the folder then use a cmd window to take care of it (deltree)

yea try deleting it from the command line. and i believe deltree was removed in windows 2000 and xp, you should use rmdir with a /s parameter

MoveonBoot will do it too.
