| 863046 | 2010-03-02 04:56:00 | So what folders, are you trying to delete? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 863047 | 2010-03-02 06:46:00 | Try this (am assuming you're trying to remove locked files, works in 32/64bit (unlike Unlocker)). http://lockhunter.com/ |

| 863048 | 2010-03-02 08:57:00 | They are actually empty folders, I deleted the contents/files with disk cleanup but it left the folders but when I try to delete the folders a message pops up saying " This is no longer located in C: verify the items location and try again." The files are no longer on my computer as disk cleanup put them into trash can which I emptied. There are 15 folders in the main folder with a total size of 950kb. The files in the folders weren't system folders or anything like that which would affect the running of windows. This is more a curiosity more than anything and am wondering why I can't delete them. :) |

| 863050 | 2010-03-02 09:09:00 | HAd one folder like that last year - I could rename it, but do you think I could delete it or change its permissions :( Ended up booting with Ubuntu live CD and deleting it that away. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 863051 | 2010-03-02 09:15:00 | Have you tried 'shift-delete' to bypass Recycle Bin? | fred_fish (15241) | ||
| 863052 | 2010-03-02 20:20:00 | HAd one folder like that last year - I could rename it, but do you think I could delete it or change its permissions :( Ended up booting with Ubuntu live CD and deleting it that away. Ubuntu did the job. Thanks Wainuitech. :) |
