Having Problems deleting Folder From Win &
Hi:
A MAC using client sent me a USB drive with 6 zip files: 4 of the six unziped fine and created folders with the right files in them. 2 of the zip files created folders with files but when trying to open the files I got a "file is no longer located"... and then the path. I wss able to delete the files in the folder, but can not delete the folder. The folder is on my desktop but I have been unable to delete or rename it even though I can open the folder with windows explorer. I have booted into safe mode command prompt and tried using the del command from the command line, but still nothing. I've checked the attributes but no success there. Any Ideas. TIA MK -- --------------------------------- --- -- - Posted with NewsLeecher v7.0 Beta 7 Web @ http://www.newsleecher.com/?usenet ------------------- ----- ---- -- - |

A delete or rename with a wildcard (whatever the DOS for it is) might work; though probably the folder is okay and you only have to rename it to something legal. linux for finding obscure characters might be ls | od -c (Cygwin would let you do that, if you install it.) -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

Thanks again for the Reply: I booted to BARTPE and could not delete or rename. I tried to change the atrributes using Total Commander, and when I called up the tab that has the attributes, that screen was in German (those tabs are in english when I check the attributes on other folders/files) and the Read only, system, hidden, and archive boxes were grayed and could not be permanently changed. Also the box on that tab marked crypted was completely grayed out and checked. Any Ideas? -- --------------------------------- --- -- - Posted with NewsLeecher v7.0 Beta 7 Web @ http://www.newsleecher.com/?usenet ------------------- ----- ---- -- - |
