Hi,

I am trying to delete a folder tree and one folder in that tree can not be deleted. First i tried taking ownership of the folder since i thought this would a permissions problem, but when i looked at the properties of this folder it has no security tab !

Does anyone know if it is possible to remove a folder that has been corrupted like this, or a tool i could use to force this folder off the system

Any suggestions appreciated

Regards

Very Strange. How about trying to restart the server in safe mode and deleting it then.
