| 1371118 | 2014-03-23 23:21:00 | I am being driven nuts trying to delete a folder that has empty folders in it. I have tried file assassin, taking ownership, unlocker, and permissions time machine. I am running windows 8.1 64bit. Can someone help please? | ollieogg (6593) | ||
| 1371119 | 2014-03-24 00:03:00 | Have you tried it in safe mode? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1371120 | 2014-03-24 00:16:00 | Have you enabled view system & hidden files ? whats the error message you get when trying to delete ? whats the folder you are trying to delete ? If the directory is corrupt, loops back on itself endlessly, has too many subdirectories, or file/dir name is too long: then it just wont delete no matter what. Then you may need to try a linux bootcd to delete it. also try rd /s /q (be carefull) |

| 1371126 | 2014-03-24 00:50:00 | I created the folder called "try to delete this" and shoved the undeleteable mobi folder in it. Inside that are two authors folders but the .mobi files have been moved or deleted. | ollieogg (6593) | ||
| 1371127 | 2014-03-24 00:55:00 | Not sure what that was suppose to do apart from freeze my mousepad? | ollieogg (6593) | ||
