Page 1 of Can`t delete a folder

has anyone come across this problem, it`s minor (i think) but damned annoying,
i created a folder on my desktop ages ago, to store torrent links etc, decided yesterday to delete it, won`t let me tho >:(
comes up with the following message....
cannot delete CAAVAZQT.: Cannot find the specified file

any ideas ??

Thanks :/

Run a command prompt and try via that.

Assuming you`re using Windows XP...

Press the "Start" button, then select "Run"
In the window that appears type "cmd" and press OK
In the resulting black DOS window, it should say something like "C:\Documents and settings\{username}\"

Type
cd Desktop (then press enter)
del /F CAAVAZQT (then press enter)

Might work!

thanks for your response, tried it and no luck :/

looks like i`m just gonna have to live with it

Cheers anyway :)

Microsoft Process Explorer lets you find out and end the processes that are using it and preventing it from deleting. Might work in your case, and it`s free so it`s worth a shot.
