In My Network Places, when I used to double click `homepages`, I went straight
to a listing of the folders and html pages related to my website. I recently
updated my website and deleted all the old folders and html pages before
uploading the new ones. Now, when I double-click `homepages` there is a list of
folders entitled `docroot (in which my folders and webpages now reside),
docroot.old, errpages, logs, secure, stats, stats_secure`, and one file entitled
`users`.
The folders seem to refer to errors reported by my ISP, with messages such as
"Default homepage for/ Are you a visitor to this website? The website located
at this URL has either been removed or not currently been uploaded", together
with other information. I have been able to delete the folders` contents, but
when I try to delete the folders themselves, I received an error message : "An
error occurred deleting the file or folder on the FTP server. Make sure you have
permission to access this folder. 550 (folder name) Permission denied", although
I have Administrative privileges as the only user of the computer. I have also
tried deleting them in Safe Mode, but get the same message. I had hoped that I
could copy or move my webpages and folders from `docroot` to the root of
Homepages, but that won`t work either. I have contacted my ISP by email, but
they are very slow to respond, and as I don`t have a lot of faith in their
expertise either, I wondered if anyone here could tell me how to delete these
folders, please?
Many thanks
