Error 0x80070091

I have a folder of pictures.

Out-of-the-blue, when I try to open the folder I get a message that it is
not openable and is corrupted.
When I try to delete it, it won't delete, and I get an error message
0x80070091.
So, I'm stuck. I can't open the folder nor get rid of it.

I have done extensive research on this. People suggest doing scandisk, which
didn't help for me.
Most people I came across said the only way their problem got fixed was by
wiping out the entire hard drive and re-installing Windows.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Open a command prompt, and log onto the folder that is the parent, above
that corrupt folder. Run the command:
RD /Q /S *

Mark,
Hi!
Since I'm a novice, could you please give step by step instructions for me
how to open a command prompt etc.?
Thanks.

Click the Start Orb, type 'cmd' in Start/Search and press Enter. Be sure to
include the spaces in Mark's string and type it at the prompt in the Command
window. Then hit Enter.

Thanks Colin.
How about the rest.
Suppose the folder is under pictures and named July, how do I write it in
the Command Prompt in order to try Mark's code?
