RE: Cannot Delete Folder

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Their are several things that you can try,reboot and try to delete it,or
rename it then try to delete it,or boot into safe mode and delete it.or add
something to the folder like a text doc. then delete it.
all of these have worked for me in the past and I'm sure there are other
things that you can try which I have not mentioned here.
Good luck!

I am attempting to delete an empty folder named ACT! 2005. Whenever I
attempt to delete this folder I get the following message "ERROR Deleting
File or Folder --- Cannot delete File: Cannot Read from source File or Disc"

Does anyone have a clue on how to delete this folder? It is left over from a
uninstall of ACT! 2005.
