Deleting empty folders

[The Stooge]

I have some empty folders that I cannot delete. I get "Cannot delete file:
Cannot read from the source file or disk." Any suggestions how to get rid of
them? Thanks

Nope, in DOS, it won't let me access that directory, like it doesn't exist

It's not a system folder.

What folders?
There are several system folders such as Front Page and Xerox that can
not be deleted.

Hi,

"Access denied" or "cannot find the path specified"?

What folder is it?

Hi,

Start/run cmd, run chkdsk <drive>: /f

If it can't be dismounted, schedule it to occur on reboot.
