Can't delete folder, need Help!

[Actorios]

hello ppl,

i've got a problem.
i'm running WinXP Pro. I got two hd's, one seagate and a samsung (no RAID) and recently i copied a folder about 3 Gig large from the seagate to the samsung. During that process i got a "cycle error" and it stopped copying. Thankfully it was only a copy paste, and no cut & paste. But now not only i can't access the folder in the samsung, when i open it with explorer there's nothing in it. So i want to delete it. But i cant even do that. It says the folder is not empty.
Whats also strange, when i use diskeeper to defrag the samsung hd, i can see how it tries to defrag the files that were supposed to be viewable in the folder. So they are still there. But why can't i delete them?
Tried in Safe mode, but got the same "folder is not empty" crap.

Any ideas on how i can delete that folder?

thx in advance!

Try MoveOnBoot which is in the file utilities section.

If that doesn't work then you may need to change the permissions on the folder and files in it.

make a batch file and put it in the parent folder. call it whatever.

del path/*.*
rd foldername

wow... that was simple!

thx a lot guys for your quick replies! i downloaded the file utilities, but i actually used the batch file, and it worked like a charm!

that folder was slowing the defragmentation soooo much!
