415122 2005-12-23 03:43:00 Hi. I have a folder which i am unable to delete. In the properties it says the folder contains 1 files but the total size is 0 bytes. There are no visible files inside the folder even with hidden files turned on.

When I try deleting the folder, it says : "Cannot delete file INSTR.:Cannot find the specified file. Make sure you specify the correct path and file name."

I am definitely sure the folder is not important and doesnt contain any system files etc. What can I do to remove it?

Thanks

Welcome to PF1

Have you tried deleting the folder in safe mode?

Cheers
