|    Unable to delete folder    |
|    03 Nov 06 15:52:27    |
      I accidentally named a folder "11 02 " (notice the space after the last       numeral) and now every time I go to try and delete this folder I get an       error message saying it can't be deleted because it "cannot be read from       the source file or disk."              OK, so I went to a website "The Elder Geek" and it contains some pretty       useful information that has worked for me in other instances. I read about       trying to delete the undeleteable and all information didn't help.              I tried some stuff I didn't really understand but I typed it in at the       command prompt as specified, but none of the ideas worked.              I then tried one (again using command prompt) and closing all running       programs with [taskmgr.exe] and some other steps that didn't work, either.              This is quite annoying! Does anyone have any ideas how to delete the       undeleteable? I am running XP Home SP1 and I can neither delete the folder       from C:\ or rename it in any way.              Any information will be appreciated. TIA              Robert              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
