Can't Erase

Empty Folders

Saturday, March 26, 2005 by OzGirl | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I have a folder that has 2 sub folders and all are empty. I have tried to delete them but with no luck, I just end up being told unable to erase. I am the only user of my computer. I would be grateful for help because I hate anything sitting around my computer for no reason. I once had a little program that helps get rid of so called un-erasable folders but I deleted it a while back because I didn't really need it. Any suggestions welcome. |

This will get rid of anything. Uninstaller Pro :

Check the attributes. If read-only is checked, reboot, uncheck the box, apply to all and then you should be able to delete them.

That's happened to me a few times. Usually if I rebooted my pc then it would let me delete them.
