I have a Yahoo! Folder that is empty- it shows zero bytes. I want to delete it but when I try to open it or delete it I get the following messages
When I try to open the file...

C:\Program Files\Yahoo! Is not accessible
Access Denie

When I try to delete the file..

Cannot Delete Yahoo. Access is Denie

Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use

I have two other files that are similar – empty folder – sero bytes – I can’t delete it, move it , rename it or open it. I am the administrator and have full privileges. Can any one out there help me
