empty folder

Hi experts Labview,.

I noticed that my record of deletion function does not work correctly when the folder is not emptied.

Can someone show me how to empty a folder or delete a folder with the files it contains?

    I'm under XP_SP3 with Firefox 8.0.1. I had an empty folder on my desktop called "D E M O" I used to use for downloads. I moved to another HD on my system and removed from the desktop computer.
    Now, any moment I DL EVERYTHING type of file with Firefox, the folder reappears on the desktop as soon as I hit him file, save as. I tested this out with IE6. IE6 does not re-create the folder.

    This might be a stupid answer, but did you really tell firefox to download to a different location?

    Personally I always Firefox ask me where to download files.

  • Help: I can remove bookmarks using 'Organize Favorites', but cannot get rid of the empty folder.

    Using 'Organize bookmarks' I can delete individual bookmarks, but when I try to remove the empty folder, the "Delete" option is grayed out.

    The folder in which you are trying to delete?

    In the left pane of the library (bookmarks > organize bookmarks) there are three main files in the folder "All bookmarks" ("Bookmarks Toolbar", "Bookmarks Menu", "Unsorted Bookmarks").
    You cannot delete these main folders.

    * The Bookmarks Toolbar folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the (View > Toolbars >) Bookmarks Toolbar.

  • Empty folder "back" after that I erase it

    A few months ago, a friend downloaded some pictures on my laptop via bluetooth and saved in a regular folder in my documents. I tried to remove this folder several times but he returns. I also tried to empty the folder, and then delete it, but keeps the empty folder. I also tried to cut and paste the folder and remove it to a new location, but the folder still reappears in its original location. I even emptied the Recycle Bin, but no luck. I don't know what to do! As it comes to my laptop I'm the admin and I 'permission' to do something.

    Try using the free product to remove the folder.  Unlocker to:http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml.  Sometimes this program of work where the normal Vista programs is not.  It's worth a shot.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.

    Looks like you get an error message "the file (s) would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location with a shorter path.

    This normally occurs when the file system is corrupt.

    I suggest you scan the computer for the error. Follow this step to do the same thing:

    1. click on start
    2. type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD-> click 'run as administrator '.
    3. at the command prompt, type: chkdsk /r

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  • The Windows 7 Explorer displays the file as empty but empty folder properties is not

    Hello, I'm trying to delete empty folders from my computer. I am running Windows 7 Professional, and my user account is an administrator and the user account only on the computer.

    When I use Windows Exlporer to navigate to the folder, it seems empty: "this folder is empty". But if I navigate back to the parent and then right-click on the folder and select properties it shows: "contains: 1 file, 0 folders" or for some records: "Contains: 2 files, 0 folders. Even when I run on the DIR of CMD file.

    I have hidden files and folders checked to display and I have checked that I am the owner of the folder.

    Any ideas?

    One more step. I found another option in Windows Explorer: "Hide protected files of the operating system (recommended)". Just in case where you need help to find this option:

    1. Open Windows Explorer
    2. If not display the menu (file, edition, view, tools, help) options, click ALT
    3. Click on tools
    4. Select folder options...
    5. Click the view tab
    6. Untick: Hide the protected files (recommended) operating system

    You can now see and search for files hidden, protected from the operating systems such as Thumbs.db.

    I use fast empty folder of http://listeningpc.com Finder to find and remove empty folders.

    Hope this helps someone else.

    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.

  • Why do I get an empty folder named SightSpeed records not appearing in the folder My Documents/libraries?

    I get an empty folder named SightSpeed records not appearing in the My Documents/libraries folder in Windows 7. I have not all Dell products. I use Windows Messenger and Skype to make video calls (VOIP). Why this Dungeon appear even after I delete it?

    Hello ThomasSpero,

    It is the response that was returned by Logitech Forums:

    16/10/2012 09:00

    Hello spetho2001,

    The empty SightSpeed records record is a direct result of your Logitech Vid installation. The file is harmless and will remain empty unless the function to record video calls is implemented in Vid.

    enation815

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It seems to be just a record created and will have nothing on the record unless you use the video recording option. You can test this information by recording a video call.

    I'll assume that the empty folder is not a problem.

    I hope this helps.
