Cannot delete print jobs

[Guest]

I cannot delete a group of print jobs from my Print Queue; I get the "Error
Processing Command" message . I have admin privileges and have done
everything I can think of. When I add new jobs to the queue, I can delete
them, but not this initial group. I went through Services and stopped the
Spooler and deleted all the files from the Windows/System32/Spooler/Printers
folder, but it didn't help either. I've tried unplugging the printer, etc as
well. Thanks for any help.

You will find that deleting all files from the Printers folder
will delete them for good. The GUI may not show this
correctly until you click View/Refresh.

If this is not the case then you should have a closer look
at the Printers folder and the file that are still there.

They are still there even after refreshing the view.
Each of these documents (there's 10) show in the print queue, but not in the
Spooler/Printers folder. None have a name and all show N/A for pages.

Finally got it!!!!!!!!

Before, I had deleted the printer and then added it back. The documents
were in the print queue after I added the printer back. This time, I deleted
the printer and restarted the PC. When I added the printer back this time,
the documents were no longer there.
