• I can't delete a folder. In addition, in some cases, I can't delete some files.

  Using Windows Explorer (Windows XP) I can't delete a folder. (The data are not a program).

  File attributes are set to "hidden files" and the folder is empty (0-byte and no files are in the folder).

  In addition, the folder properties (and file) / attributes are 'read only '. When I uncheck "read only" and click OK, then look again at this, the box comes back to "read only with a check mark. (???)

  When I try to delete the folder, the message says "no empty folder", and it won't delete.

  Also, when I try to delete some files (in other cases) some people will not remove.

  Help, please.

  The 'read only' box on issues is not what he says. ignore it.

  A folder will not delete if it contains a locked file.  You will need to unlock and remove the file first.

  "Some files" will not delete because they are locked - that is to say, they are in use by an application.  There is a utility called "unlocker" used to be recommended to correct this situation, but the download now includes adware that may be reported by your antivirus/antimalware dangerous application.

  An 'empty' file that will not delete can be fixed if you run chkdisk.  Click Start > run and type the following command, and then click OK

  chkdisk/f

  A window will open to inform you that chkdisk /f cannot be run while Windows is active and proposed to schedule a chkdisk for the next reboot.  Answer Yes and restart.  When chkdisk is complete, delete the folder.

  The files that appear to be in use can be deleted by one or more of the following techniques:

  A. deleting a command prompt window.  You need to know the name of full of the file path.  For example, if you try to delete a file named test.txt that is located in a folder named Non empty folder on your desktop and your user name is NR16020, the full path name is C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non empty Folder\\test.txt

  • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
  • Use the del for the files command and the command rd for folders.  If the full path name includes spaces, include it with double spaces.  Using the example:
    del "C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non Folder\\test.txt empty"
    'C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non Folder Empty' RD

  B. remove in safe mode.  To access Safe Mode, restart the computer and repeatedly press F8 immediately after that the power on sequence is complete.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and need to try again.

  C. remove from a command prompt with closed Windows Explorer.  If the procedure fails because the file is locked, follow these steps:

  • Close all running applications
  • Open the Task Manager
  • Open a command prompt window
  • In the Task Manager process tab, right-click on explorer.exe, and then select end process
  • Open the command prompt window and follow the steps listed in point A above
  • In the Task Manager, click file > new task (run...), type explorer.exe, and then click OK

  As I was deleting some files from my hard drive, I came across some files that I couldn't remove with a message saying remove wite protection. Help!

  This error indicates that an application is using this file at this point here. If you are unable to remove it, restart your computer and then try to delete it.

  IF YOU ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL WITH THE above METHOD, THEN TRY to USE UNLOCKER, a free application that disables the application using the file that you want to delete.
  Download unlocker from here-http://www.filehippo.com/download_unlocker/
  Click on the above link and click on download the newer version on the right side of the screen.
  Download UNLOCKER from the link given above and install it. (you may need to restart the computer)
  Right-click on the file you want to delete, and then click unlocker.
  A new window opens showing all applications using this file.
  Select all files, and then click on unblock.
  Now right-click on the file you want to delete, and then click on remove.
  YOUR FILE WILL BE DELETED SUCCESSFULLY.
  If you are still unable to delete that file and unlocker shows no application, then follow these steps-
  Right-click on the file you want to delete and click unlocker.
  A small window will appear.
  In the drop-down list, choose delete, and then click ok.
  Your file will be deleted on the next reboot of the system.

• I accidentally deleted some files from the Recycle Bin permanently. They can be restored?

  I am running Windows Vista and I deleted some files from the Recycle Bin permanently inadvertently.  They can be restored?

  Immediately stop using your computer for something else. Download and run a program like Recuva file recovery.  It might be able to help.

• Deleted some files in the windows directory a few reasons, after restarting the system. showing a victim of COUNTERFEIT windows. How to reactivate my windows?

  Hi all

  I bought Lenovo laptop 10 months before staple. Today in my system, a malicious program "Progressive Protection system" is automatically installed. As a result, I searched the Internet and deleted some files in windows directory in C drive. Now after restarting the system, it's popping up a message stating "you are a victim of counterfeit windows. Even I have validated my window in internet with options available always is saying that my window is not genuine. Don't know how to turn it back on. If someone can help with this problem?

  I suspect that the problem is that the malware is still present - a repair installation will not get rid of it.

  @Prad_121

  Please follow the directions for the RDO and run the analysis offline so you can - at least, so we can be reasonably sure that the machine is free of malware.

  Once completed, please post a new report MGADiag.

• I can't delete some files that I uploaded to the server. What should I do?

  I can't delete some files that I uploaded to the server. I get a notice: FTP an error occurred - cannot delete the PDF download server folder. Operation failed. The directory is not empty, or there may be a permission problem.

  What should I do?

  Try to delete the files in your folder first.

  If there is a permissions problem on the server that you cannot delete files, you need to contact your Site Administrator (if you have one) or your Web hosting provider.

  Unfortunately, if you see messages that say you're low disk space, you will probably need to have a bigger drive installed on your computer.  This shouldn't be very expensive.

  In the meantime, you can delete files using the disk cleanup tool in Windows (click here to see a video how-to):

  1. click on start, then click my computer
  2. right click on 'disk Local (c)' and then click on properties (at the bottom of the menu that opens).
  3. click on the button that says "Disk Cleanup".
  4. When you get to the list of the types of files to remove, if one of the lines, says "Office installation files" do not check that.  Otherwise, you can check all the boxes.
  5. Once you have ticked the boxes, click on the OK button.

  The process can take a long time.

  Hello

  The ntuser.dat files should not be deleted - it is where Windows stores the data of register etc.  These files are normally hidden, so it would be better to return to that State.  To do so, right click on each file in turn, select Properties, click the hidden check box, and then click on apply to save the change.

  Kind regards
