Unable to remove folder

Guest

Hi everybody,

Here's a weird thing I experienced today. I want to remove a folder (in fact
a subfolder) and I can't get it done. The folder is empty (according to
windows), so no files should be in use, but I get the message: Access Denied.
Unable to delete folder "foldername" make sure that the disk is not full or
write protected and the file is not in use. I even tried safe mode (helped
sometimes a while back). I don't know how to get rid of that folder. It's in
fact not a very big deal, but quite annoying. Has anyone a workaround for
this?

Sorry to bother you with this, problem solved by reading a KB article about
folders not being accessible.
