re: Can't delete a folder with subfolders Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 12:34 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by ms (4 messages posted) This relates to the problem I'm having. When I try to delete a folder with contents, I get this message: "There has been a sharing violation, The source or destination folders may be in use." The folder to be deleted has no running program in it, and the Recycle Bin has no running programs in it. To restate, this is not "can't delete a folder, go to Safe Mode" issue, the folder {s) delete normally but only if empty. That's the problem. ms On Saturday, August 15, 2009 at 3:37 pm, ms wrote: >Any application folder that has contents, like subfolders or files, can't be deleted >until I delete the contents first, then folder deletion proceeds normally. > >What fix is necessary so a folder can be deleted regardless of contents? > Written in response to: Can't delete a folder with subfolders (ms: Saturday, August 15, 2009 at 3:37 pm) Responses to this message: re: Can't delete a folder with subfolders (C K: Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 2:12 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] Can't delete a folder with subfolders (ms: Sat, Aug 15, 2009, 3:37 pm) re: Can't delete a folder with subfolders (DEX: Sat, Aug 15, 2009, 6:14 pm) re: Can't delete a folder with subfolders (ms: Sun, Aug 16, 2009, 8:24 am) re: Can't delete a folder with subfolders (ms: Sun, Aug 16, 2009, 12:34 pm) re: Can't delete a folder with subfolders (C K: Sun, Aug 16, 2009, 2:12 pm) re: Can't delete a folder with subfolders (ms: Sun, Aug 16, 2009, 4:44 pm) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows 2000 Discussion Forum
