I have two folders I can't delete. They both show empty. They are folders I
created myself. One person said I should use command prompt, however I don't
know msdos. Another told me to download "Move on boot". I did and it did not
delete them. Even though they say empty they have music in them and I can't
delete the folder or the individual songs. I did a system restore but it did
not change anything. Any help is appreciated. James

What message do you get when you try to delete them?

I downloaded Unlocker but it did not delete. It said it could not find a
lock. When I try to delete one tells me the name is too long but it will not
allow me to rename it. The other one tells me it is invalid folder. ? Thanks
for your effort. James
