"ERROR DELETING FILE OR FOLDER" error message

B

Bernard Sachs

When I attempt to delete an empty folder which had
contained deleted or moved graphics files with a PSD or
BMP extension, I receive an error message:

"ERROR DELETING FILE OR FOLDER"
"Cannot close 'name of file'. It is being used by
another person or program. Close any programs that might
be using the file and try again"

All graphics programs are closed. It is frustrating
these undeletable empty folders cluttering up my
directories. Help please. BJ Sachs

Try right clicking on the folder and uncheck any of the
attributes, ie: read only, hidden, system. If that
doesn't work boot your PC to "Safemode" and try. Press F8
when the system is booting up, just tap the F8 several
times till a menu with options comes up.
