Problems deleting a folder

[Intelman07]

Error Deleting File or Folder
Cannot delete CAEN0PGL: Cannot fine the specified file.
Make sure you specify the correct path and file name.

That is the exact message I get when trying to delete an EMPTY folder. There is nothing in it at all, no hidden files or anything. I can rename and move this folder and everything. Additionly, i tried deleting it with the command prompt, no help. I'm going to just hide it or something, although it jsut bugs me. This used to be a C:\Documents and Settings\User\desktop folder. This user no longer exists so I deleted the folder, but the desktop folder was the only that didn't delete. All of my other user folders deleted no problem, so I have no idea what is up with this empty folder. BTW this is Windows XP!

Google a program called Dr. Delete. It will schedule the file to be deleted at next boot before anything has a chance to run. I don't know if this will fix your problem but it is great for trojans and the like.

try booting into a dos environment and use deltree or del command
