Re: Cannot delete files - HELP!!

For some reason, lately, I have a couple folders on my machine, when I
try to delete them it just tells me "Folder is not empty" and it
doesn't let me delete it. Or, when I delete a file the file
reappears.

How do I delete these? And what may be causing the problem? I have
the latest Zone Alarm, might that be the problem? I've shut it down,
and tried to delete the files/folders again, and the same thing
occurs. I am running Windows XP Home edition on my laptop.

Any help would be appreciated.

What are the folders/files? Where are they? I don't see what this would
have to do with ZA. Depending on what/where the folders are, they could
be malware. More information will get you more focused help.
