Try this little Jim Dandy…rename the file – then try deleting it. Always works for me. Good Luck!

I figured this out. Turn off System Restore.

Thats all there is to it.

Hello everyone….Some of you saying windows vista sucks and all but its very safe and secured windows for users…..

If you guys having problem to delete a file or folder….then follow this … may be it will help you guys…

this problem occures in vista if sometimes you install a software and if having some problem with it, you uninstall and want to delete all of its files and everything….

first uninstall the software in control panel then go to c:/Programme Files and you will see the folder of that software…..open it and delete all files in it and then delete this folder also……then you will be able to delete that folder in your drive which was unable to delete….

I tried to help you if you not suceed then sorry may be you have some other problem…..you can send your queries to raj.senior@yahoo.in … i will try my level best to help you

thnx ….

Simply run windows explorer as administrator, delete the directory/file… That’s it. Peace.

I had the same problem as Kenna. Couldn’t delete a stupid music folder, but could get rid of everything in it. Every time I tried right-clicking to delete or clicking once and hitting the delete key, windows explorer would crash and not allow it. For some reason, once the folders were empty, I was able to drag it into the recycle bin, then empty the bin. WTF??? In any case, the files are gone now.

I really need some help… The only thing I really know about computers is how to use them. As far a sneaky little commands and codes I’m lost. Here is my problem that I’m hoping there is a simple answer for.

I have a file on my desktop called “music.” At one point there may have been some mp3s in there that I took off my friend’s iPod. The folder is now empty but my computer won’t let me delete it. It keeps saying that it can’t find the path or that it’s not located where it says that it is located. All I want is to get this empty folder off my desktop but I can’t.

Any very simplified and step by step help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!
