"data is a Windows system folder" ? Where is the reference ? How to delete ?
I have a folder named "data".
When I try to delete it through WinExplorer a popup is displayed: data is a Windows system folder ... It cannot be deleted First: How can I list all Windows System folders ? Then I opened a command prompt and typed: attrib -s data It was accepted but the delete afterwards does not work either. How do I find out for which purpose WinXP needs this system folder ? How can I get rid of this folder otherwise ? Frank |
