My query is in regard to a folder named NPROTECT in
C:\RECYCLER. It is used by Norton SystemWorks. When I
uninstalled NSW, NPROTECT wasn't removed, nor was 5.7GB of
deleted files that couldn't be permanently deleted (error
message: files not found or already opened).
I found the following command-line entries for the removal
of NPROTECT:
C:
CD\
CD RECYCLER\NPROTECT
DEL *.*
Y
CD ..
RD NPROTECT
EXIT
When I type in COMMAND and hit OK I get this: C:\DOCUME~1
\JOHND~1>. This is the prompt I input the list of commands
to, not C:\.
It complained that it "couldn't find the files," and "the
directory wasn't empty", but it worked -- partially. I
still have the folder, but it's size is now only 949MB.
Further attempts to delete do no good. I think it was a
mixture of two user profiles, and apparently I'm not
setting up the correct prompt for removing what remains.
Should I try changing the prompt to another username such
as C:\DOCUME~1\ADMIN~1>, then use the same commands and
see if it will clear the final 949MB and the NPROTECT
folder?
Where would I find the remaining EXACT usernames to insert
into the prompt?
