I have attempted to delete a directory. Although the contents were deleted, I was told the directory was not empty. Is there anyway I can delete this folder?

There could be a number of causes- there may be an assign pointing to that directory. This would produce a message stating that it is still in use. Check your startup-sequence and user-startup for any references to the directory, reboot and try to delete the file.

If this does not work, boot with no startup-sequence and CD to the directory above and type:

Delete [directory-name] FORCE ALL

If this does not work, try scanning the directory using VirusChecker, and then check the VirusChecker.log file. Find the line that lists the problem directory and list some strange filenames. Note these files, open a Shell window and try to delete these files. Then use a program, such as QuarterBack Tools to analyze and repair the partition. This should cure the problem.
