Can't delete specific folder...

[Tarskis]

I can't delete a specific folder :

con.gdsjfjhgf jgfjh fjh fjhg fjhg fjg fj hgfj hg jhgf
jhg fj gjf hgf jhg j hgf jhg fj hgfj hg jhg fjh j j ghf
jhg jgh fjhg j(2)

The error message is : Cannot delete ... (file
name) ... : Cannot find specified file.

Make sure you specify the correct path and file name.


What can I do? The folder is empty. It doesn't have any
attributes (readonly or hidden).

Plz help

Could try rebooting to make sure any process has released the file, then
start a DOS window and look for the file and delete it using DEL <name>
where <name> is the file name shown in the DOS window

I tried that. Didn't work. I made everything possible
from command prompt (del, rd, ...)

Hi,

Try using the "Delete Later" utility to mark that file to
be deleted on your next startup. It should work!

What can I do? The folder is empty. It doesn't have any
attributes (readonly or hidden).

I had a similar problem. The folder is most likely corrupted. I'd
download a third party deletion program.
