Cannot delete an empty folder on my desktop. "Unable to find this article. "This is no longer in c:\user... check the location of the item, and then try again.

I copied an empty folder of google drive to my office, titled "writing". When I tried to remove it, it comes up with the error: "can't find this article. "This is no longer in c:\user... check the location of the item and try again. 

The file is C:\Users\myname\Desktop\Written and it is empty


I tried literally everything, reboot, restart in mode safe, cut and update, scan antivirus microsoft malware scan... and drive check came back normal.
I've tried programs like unlocker and assassin leader, did not work
I have search various forums and tried the old commands MSDOS, but he only says: System cannot find the specified item
I tried to take over, but the Security tab simply says the requested security information are either unavailable or cannot be displayed.
I can create a new folder on the desktop with the name exactly the same and the two would not exist, when I delete an old, I can't then delete again. When there are two "written" files, I can copy and create files and folders in two written records. The contents of the two files 'written' is identical at all times. When I remove one of the 'written' all the content remains in the non deleted "written", but they become inaccessible.
It seems to me that file back to the original.
The said general tab size = 0 size = 0 disk and it's just empty in fields created, modified and consultation:
It's very strange, please help

Hi Srimadhwa

Thanks for the reply. Before I check for any response, I used ubuntu live cd to remove the offending unscrupulously folder.

I really don't think it's anything to do with my windows account (although I didn't try the solution you suggested).

During the copy process that something has been broken that created this file with the path, but no other property, I think that this "confused" windows and it wouldn't recognize that it exists.

  • Deleting a folder gives this message: check the location of the elements, and then try again

    I would like to help to get rid of a file. The folder used to hold pictures, but is now empty. I tried the normal removal methods. I also tried to remove prompt all to nothing does not. I tried to use Fileassassin, but it will not work with a folder and also Fileboss time to rename it to 8.3 and remove it but neither work. He will agree to be cut and pasted from images of office etc but will not delete in these two places. Similarly, it can be placed in another folder but still will not remove. Move a file inside does not either.

    Suggestions welcomed!

    Check if you have full permissions in the folder and also owner if necessary. Move the folder to your desktop.  Right-click on the folder, and then click Properties, click the Security tab.  Add your username in their own right.  Click Advanced and add your username in its own right to the section of special permissions.  And then click the property tab and make you the owner.  In all three cases, remember to check the box to apply it to all files and subdirectories.  That should give you the permission to delete the file.  If this is not the case, check all the tabs property, including safety to check that nothing is checked to refuse the removal.  The following should help you with this:

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista:http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To solve this problem with folders, folders takeownership or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    If this does not work, tryUnlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml that removes folders and files and can work where other programs have not.

    I hope this helps.

  • Sorry, unable to save your movie. Find missing files or delete the unusable items in your project and then try again. "Error: 0 x 87160129" during video editing in Windows Movie Maker/Windows Live Movie Maker

    I use the same device which was used to make movies in the past with no problems. The error message is sorry, unable to save your movie. Find missing files or delete the unusable items in your project and then try again. Error: 0 x 87160129

    I've never had any problems with this before and made more than 100 movies using WLMM or WMM. Thanks for any help. Would that my camera settings? I use a Lumix.

    I just found out what the problem is freakin ' and the solution. If the inserted videos have different "video codec" then it will not work!

    Before adding videos to Movie Maker, throw in a video converter and convert them all. (Even if the original format is WMV, convert again to WMV) that will ensure the output videos have the same codec!
    This solved the problem for me, hope, it does for you too...
  • "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ".

    Original title: when setting up Windows Media Center, I get the error message: "IR hardware not detected".

    I have an internal TV Tuner that has been installed by HP, when I bought recently a "computer build-your-own." (According to the control panel Device Manager, my tuner is a Win TV HVR 1290, made by Hauppauge). The computer came with Windows 7. While installing Windows Media Center, after setting up the TV Signal (on channel 3) I am able to see a video thumbnail on my computer screen. I am also able to change the channel using my remote control U-Verse (not the Windows remote control supplied with the computer). So far so good! I then hit next and get the following message: "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ".  After you receive this message, the installation procedure is completed. I called HP that support intalled the tuner. They had not the slightest idea what to do. I then called Hauppage customer (manufacturer of TV Tuner). They said that I need to plug one end of the IR Blaster cable that shipped with the computer in a slot in the back of my computer (they told me which slot). They said so to run the IR all the way cable to my cable box and the other end of the cable to my cable box of band. They said it was necessary to be able to use my Microsoft Remote to instruct the box to change channels (cable IR stuck on the box). I told her that I did not use the Microsoft Remote, I could change the channel with my U-verse remote (that I preferred to use anyway). He said that it took the cable on the band decoder in order to remove the error message and the installation of Windows Media Center. I then called U-Verse technical adapter who informed me of their set-top boxes (made by Cisco Systems) do not have the ability to receive signals IR IR Blaster cable (or any othe IR signal source). Microsoft is apparently not understand how U-Verse set-top boxes are designed to work and sells a product incompatible remote control/IR. My question is this: How do I set up Windows Media Center, in order to avoid getting the error message "IR hardware not detected" when you install Windows Media Center and just use the remote control of the U-Verse that I prefer to use in the first place. Once understand you this point, please send the information to HP, At & T U-Verse and others. Thank you.

    Ron, I have something for you!

    and for all the people who have this problem :)

    Hi, I had the time of IR not detected in Windows 7 Ultimate with a TV wonder 650 card and a box of digital adapter from Verizon for my PC... Go on the road to installation and after the Media Center channel search, choose manual configuration. Choose the aerial signal (I aso picked after this analog) l. After he sought more, he finds no channels.  Do not be afraid. Just accept it and go to the main settings page in the Mediacenter. If I remember correctly, then select TV Guide. Choose Add channel. I added the channel 3.

    Since my Verizon box has no IR for the computer, I added the channel 3 for the media Center and I change the channels with my Verizon remote. All my stations in the Verizon box go to Channel 3.

    The story here is so, for some reason any Windows detects that only my box channel signal TV and you must manually configure the media center on the air, then go to settings and add the channel you want in the guide.

    Why the guide TV control which channel you can tune is beyond me, but the scanner locks all channels, it does not detect. they must be added manually in the guide.

    My TV works and looks okay now.

    It actually works!

    If you have correctly typed the name of this file, your computer has been infected. Either you have uninstalled the malware program or your antivirus/antispyware program did. In all cases, a reference has been left in the boot file. You can remove the reference by managing your startup.

    Because you had a piece of malware, the chances are too high you had others. It would be a good idea to scan.
