Cannot Delete Empty Folder

[bob]

I would like to delete a folder. Checking it's properties it is empty.
When I attempt to delete I get an error message "Cannot delete XXXXXXX. The
directory is not empty".
I have even tried deleting in safe mode - no luck.

Any ideas? Thanks

The folder probably contains some hidden files. Make them
visible and delete them, or use this approach:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type this command:
rd /s /q "c:\documents and settings\bob\. . . .\Folder Name"{Enter}

If Pegasus' advice fails, track down Unlocker and give it a twirl.
Some rouge app may have a file in the dir locked. We are talking
about a microsoft opsys, you know.
