Cannot remove folder <folder name> the directory is not empty.

[Hardik Shah]

Hi,

I am using Window server 2003, When I am deleting the folder, I got
following message

Cannot remove folder <folder name> the directory is not empty.

Please note that I am logged in as administrator, and I have also tried to
delete from safe mode.

Only one folder has the above problem, rest folder is under my control.

Any hint will be appreciated..

Is the folder on an external USB drive?

Try these in order of popularity.

Try deleting the contents of the folder first.
