i have an empty folder (n im sure its empty) dat doesnt
wanan be deleted
an error msg says cant read from da source file or disk
i tried renaming or moving it but da same msg appeared
how can i delete this folder?
 
This problem happened on my friend's computer as well. It
may be a few different problems. The computer may not be
recognizing that the file is still there, or it may have
already been deleted once, but incorrectly. You can do
this by looking at the file from a disk drive, and then
deleting it, but then "Undo Delete" in file options. This
is what my friend did, and now they have two different
folders on their desk top that will never be deleted. :)
It stinks, but sometimes it happens. Did you do anything
like that recently?

Have you tried booting up in Safe Mode and deleting it from there?
Press F8 a few times as the computer is booting up, you should get a menu
that gives you the option of Safe Mode.
