Can't Delete or Move Folder
XP Home, SP2 w/latest update, Cable connection.
I'm having a problem deleting and moving folders. It doesn't matter if it is an empty folder that I made and didn't use or if it is a program folder that I have uninstalled, when I try to delete or move it to storage, I get a message telling me 'someone is using it or it is being used by another program.' For my requested action to take place, I must restart my computer. Action I've taken: Checked Task Manager to see if the folder or program was open. Checked to see if other programs depend upon it or are using it. Negative in all cases. Can anyone help me with this problem? SS |

Can't Delete or Move Folder
I have run into that problem and resolved it by downloading a program that automatically deletes the file on reboot. It shows up in the context menu as Delete files on next boot. The name of the app. is as follows. It's very good and it's FREE. To delete Folders there is another program Delete Doctor. You can find these Apps on http://www.snapfiles.com and select Free Files. -- Bobbya10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bobbya10's Profile: http://www.iamnotageek.com/member.php?userid=10354 View this thread: http://www.iamnotageek.com/showthread.php?t=817685 |
