Occasionally an application will not tell the OS that it has finished with a file or directory ( Especially if the application was 'chopped')
If you still have any application associated with the file 'running' terminate that application and try again Also do you have another explorer window open on that, or a lower level directory. If not try again after a reboot Then run chkdsk on the partition and try again Then try Safe mode If all fail come back to the forum for more complex techniques JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robbie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2005 4:12 AM Subject: Deleting a Folder Trying to delete a folder on an external h/d and am getting error message in a dialogue box's titled "Error Deleting a File or Folder" and in the dialogue box it states, Can not delete Audio Books (name of folder), Make sure that the disc is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.
