I have folder that has nothing in it, but for some reason everytime i touch
it for any reason, an error window pops up. Since i can touch it in anyway, i
can't delete, move, or scan it. I doesn't seem to cause anyproblems, but i
just want it gone. what can i do to get rid of this folder?

Try to delete it in Safe mode by Taping F8 on Start Up your computer you
will be presented with Boot Up Options select Safe Mode and delete from there.
If you can't then try to take the ownership of that file/folder and redelete
it in safe or normal mode.
On how to take the ownership read this article:

If still now joy then download this tool and delete it:
