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
