I finished a download, and I see that inside of it there is a folder. I'm confused as to whats in it, so i open it. Its another folder with the same name as the first. Open that, another one. Another. Another and another. Then there's one more, but I can't open it. It just doesn't do anything when I click.
If I try to delete the first one, i get an error telling me the folder contains items too large for the recycle bin, permanently delete? Yes, I say. Then I get an error:
Error Deleteing File or Folder
Cannot delete FLIPPE~1: The file name you specified is not valid or too long. Specify a different file name.
Then I try to do a shift->Delete to skip the recycle bin step, and I get a small error box that says "Cannot delete file: " (With the ':')
Seeing that I was caught in a bug in windows, I tried a few other methods. I created a PHP script that uses the unlink function to delete it (I run apache on my machine) but I get a Permission Denied error, even when I CHMOD it to 0777 (The code for removing all permission controls on a file or folder).
That didn't work.
I also made a batch file and tried both RD ('remove directory') and DEL to remove the folder. No luck.
How can I get rid of this damn thing?
