1353866 2013-09-19 02:40:00 Hi Guys
Any recommendations to a small app to delete otherwise undeletable folders: folders that may have paths or filenames too long for Win to cope with,or that somehow links back on itself or somehow otherwise corrupt .

Its subfolders in a temp folder that had files from other HD's temporarily copied onto it.

rd /s /q doesnt allways work for this sort of thing.
Im after a small app to del folders (not just files) , rather than have to fire up a Lin based Boot CD to do it

Something not riddled with the usual adware/spyware prefered :)
Cheers

1353869 2013-09-19 03:49:00 Try unlocker. Or try deleting it / them in safe mode Speedy Gonzales (78)
1353870 2013-09-19 05:18:00 If you can delete the files within the folder you can then usually delete the folder itself. As Speedy says, try Safe Mode. FoxyMX (5)
1353871 2013-09-19 05:39:00 looks like unlocker has a delete function & claims to cope with invalid names. I'll give it a go 1101 (13337)
