I had in effect tried this, but did so specifically when I got your post. Still won't delete. Get Error Message: TITLE: "Error Deleting File or Folder" MSG: "Cannot Remove Folder STUPID: The directory name is invalid." ** In my frustration, and testing, I've gotten the folder renamed to "STUPID", cause that's what it is. :) My best guess is that there are illegal characters in the folders name at the end that do not show up, which would explain why I can move it around on the same drive, 'cause its just updating the root path of the folder and not attempting to change or delete the folder itself.
