I have "recent" folders on my Hard Dives's (I have several for storage) that
have titles like"493b0733557a061838eb" and winodws says they are empty.

When I try to delete or open them I get: "Access denied, Make sure the disk
is not full or write-protected."

I run a dual-boot system and neither OS can delete or access these folders.

The folders attributes are "Read Only" and I cannot change that setting.

Other than being unsightly they do not seem to be causing a problem, It's
just that I am fanatic about keeping a clean system and these folders drive
me crazy to look at.

If anyone one has any idea how to get rid of these folders I would be
greatly appreciative.

I know I could copy every thing off the affective drives and reformat them,
but that would be extremely time consuming, but I'll do that if I have to.

Thx
 
Thx for your response.

I tried logging as Admin, and I I'm still getting the same error message.
:-(
 
I, too, am having the same problem. The folder is empty, but still cannot
delete it. Maybe we are both in the twilight zone....ha ha
