I just deleted the folder on my C: drive and it worked just
fine. Do you have full administrative rights for the login
account you are using?

Tried that, and set security permissions to "FULL CONTROL" and still
access is denied. I'm certainly logging into an administrator account.

I do use a seperate bin for each partition, maybe that's preventing it
from doing what I ask?

Shouldn't have anything to do with it.
Of course, there is a "recycle bin" in each partition,
so you will have to empty/delete them all.


I didn't see any mention of the OS you are using.

I use Win2K on NTFS and it has various security settings for all files and folders. Sometimes I cannot delete a file or folder, in which case I rt-click on it and choose properties. Select the Security tab and click the add button. Search for your login name and give yourself full permissions and ownership of the file/folder.

Then you may be able to delete. If not, just logoff and then back on and you should be able to kill that pesky thing.
