Cannot delete empty folder - check the location of the element?

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE...

I have a file left behind by an uninstall, '146-200 300 Jetliner just of flight ' folder to be precise!

After that I removed the program, the file was still in the Start Menu. So right clicked and tried to delete native mode in the start menu which will be presented with the message "unable to delete the folder. Check the location of the item... "or something in that sense.

I tried many fixes but all without success. I tried CCleaner, I tried to remove it from CMD, I tried to rename, move and merge the file with one of the same name. I also tried to reinstall the program, delete the folder with the installed program and try uninstall again to remove the folder.

Literally nothing works. The only thing I have not tried is a Disk Clean Up, simply because I don't think it will work.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Kind regards

Ben Stratford

See if it will remove in safe mode. If this isn't the case, give a this tool.

    I have an icon named on my desktop which is no longer an underlying file.  When I try to remove it, the system responds that it cannot find the file.  I searched and found that there is no file with the name on the icon.

    Should what steps I take to remove the stubborn icon?

    Hello

    Do you know that the file has been – a program, a Web link, a toolbar button? Have you tried to uninstall through Control Panel (programs and features)? Have you looked into the device for her Manager (if it was related to a USB or flash drive)?

    I'm also not clear when you say that when you try to remove the system responds that it cannot find the file - exactly how you try to delete computer system responds? Have you tried just right click on it and then left-click Delete. What happens to the icon at this time?

    Sorry, but your description sounds a little strange to me. If you could answer these questions however, I may be able to help you.

  • Cannot delete files locked in the temp folder

    I emptied regularly delete all files in the temp via the function folder in the Tools menu of IE9 and also by searching on folder and deleting the contents of the temporary Local AppData file in the users folder.

    Ten days ago, I found there are some files in the folder temporary AppData that were locked and could not be removed. This only happens in a user account, and this isn't an administrator account. Opening of properties on any of the files by checking the Security tab, I find I am wierdly the sole owner of the file, but have limited permissions. I tried to change the permissions to get total control and then remove the file, but that did not work, nor has anything else I could think of. This included the stop of all open applications and disconnects all users.

    Other file properties:

    -Open with "Windows Shell Commo" - little matter that is.

    -Similar names to ~ DF38C18158B32C1039. TMP

    -Attributes: ATI

    -The size is small (512 bytes, for example)

    -No previous versions

    Normally the files in this folder have names like this except without the ~.

    After having in vain tried everything I could think of to delete these files, I downloaded Revo Uninstaller, who managed to remove all the files locked in the record at the time.  However, the problem resurfaced shortly after and this time Revo Uninstaller did not work.

    I spent a few days of research on the net and try different options without success until I stumbled on a recommendation to go into Control Panel, search for Java, open its settings menu and refuse authorisation for Java to back up the data on my computer.  It worked - I went back in the folder, the files were no longer locked, I was able to remove them as I usually do and I had no other problems with the locked files. Until yesterday.

    I double-checked the settings of Java to ensure that authorization still denied to save data on my computer. I don't remember now if I set permission to refuse when I checked again. I tried then to Revo Uninstaller again, but he failed again to remove these files locked. I noticed today that the date for all files is last July 15.  It seems (so far) no new files have been generated, but I still cannot delete locked files 51 of my computer.  My biggest concern, obviously, is security.  I don't want to locked files including origins, functions and activities that I do nothing on my computer, especially if I'm unable to remove them.

    I want to know how to remove these files, what caused do them appear in the first place and how to prevent them from happening again.

    Thank you!

    Thanks for this suggestion, Oberwald. It came a little too late, however.  Finally, it occurred to me to try my anti-virus software file shredder function and he managed to remove the locked files.

    I believe now these locked files were likely due to some kind of malware - after shredding, my desktop Recycle bin flashed repeatedly icon when I shut down the computer. Also, after have logged you in today, I find everything runs much faster and no sign of keylogging.  Seem to be back to normal.

    I was able to save the link and it will try in the future if necessary.

    Thanks again!

  • Delete an EMPTY FOLDER in the all programs list.

    SuperAntiSpyware uninstalled from my computer. Now, the name appears in the list of programs, when you click on the Start button.

    I can't find out how to remove the empty file with the name of SuperAntiSpyware.

    Thanks guys...

    What happens if you right click and select "remove from this list"?

    The above is that if you have a shortcut for SuperAntiSpyware in the main part of the start menu.  If you mean that when you click on "All programs" you still see a folder named "SuperAntiSpyware" then open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program and delete the folder "SuperAntiSpyware".

  • Some accounts have the Recycle Bin instead of the trash icon. Cannot run 'Empty trash' on the record, only on an icon to the trash.

    I have four accounts open TB: mine, woman, club and spam. Only mine and spam account display the Recycle Bin icon. The other two accounts have a folder named "Trash". Deleted files go in the Trash files, is similarly in the trash icon files. However, there is a single action, I can perform on files from the Recycle Bin. When right clicking on folders, "empty trash" is not available as an option. The function is available only on folders with the Recycle Bin icon.
    Is there a way to get the appropriate folder to the trash with function 'empty trash' in all accounts?

    OK - I messed around with the settings more and came across a solution.
    1 right-click on the account name in the left pane, and then select settings.
    2. Select Server settings
    3. in the central block under deletion actions, select Advanced
    4. uncheck the "show only subscribed folders", and then click OK
    5. click OK in the parameters, and then collapse the account name in the left pane so not subfolders appear.
    6 expand the name of the account. This is - the trash is now a garbage can with the function of "empty trash".
    7. If desired, return to the advanced settings and re - select "show only subscribed folders" and click OK

    Don't ask me why this works. It's a total coincidence that I even found it.
