Sometimes, just waiting a while will clear the problem - I suspect that a process is holding open the folder (or, possibly, a file in the folder). More than once I've hit this and gone to use Sysinternals process explorer to find out which process is guilty. By the time I've run up the program and searched for the folder name there's nothing there. going back to the folder finds that it's either gone or can now be deleted. In your case, I'd guess that robocopy had started creating folders and when it got interrupted, something took a while for things to get tidied up - if the helpdesk guy hasn't yet unmapped the drives he was using then I think that this might help. Steve ---------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] On Behalf Of Tom Kern Sent: 05 April 2006 15:45 To: activedirectory Subject: [ActiveDir] Robocopy(OT) I have a strange issue. I had a help desk admin robocopy a dir from one server to another. During the copy, for whatever reason, he canceled the robocopy job. When he went to the target server a empty dir was created which now cannot be deleted. I can't delete it through explorer or the command console at the server and get an error of "cannot delete file:cannot read from the source file or disk". If i do a RD /s, i get "The system cannot find the file specified." However the dir shows up in a dir listing or explorer. The weird thing is also, the dir has no "security" tab(and its on an ntfs file system). Some backround on the robocopy job- the admin mapped 2 drives from his local box(win2k). One drive to the root of the volume on the source server and another to the root on the target. he then CD'ed to the source and ran robocopy with the "/E" and "/V" switches. after sometime, he killed the job and now I'm stuck with this undeletable DIR. Any insight would be great. thanks
