I am using WinXP SP1 with up-to-date fixes.

I tried to deleted a directory, called aaa. The files in
the directory was deleted, but the directory itself
cannot be deleted. I got a message.

=============

Cannot delete aaa: Cannot find the specified file.

Make sure you specify the correct path and file name

===============

How do I delete this directory?

Thanks.

Found that I got a trailing blank in my directory name.
Managed to delete it.

Thanks.

Reboot,

I then expect either that the file can be deleted or that it will be gone.
