I have a file folder that's 32 characters long, contains no data, has no subfolders, but I can't delete it. It did have sp2 as a subfolder but I got rid of that, just can't do anything with the main folder. I tried dos, safemode, logged on as admin, no luck. Any ideas, it's not doing anything, but I didn't put it there so I'd rather get rid of it. The error says access denied, disk full or protected... Thanks

Have you got all the permissions correct? I know that I had that problem with a flash drive that I took between work and home. And that same error came up, instead of an access denied error. Just take ownership of the file (when you are admin) and change the permissions.
