| 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) | ||
