I have a particular folder on my desktop that I cannot delete.
When attempting to delete I recieve the error message:
" Cannot delete folder..: Cannot find specified file. Make sure you specify the correct path and file name"
I have tried deleting while in Safe Mode with the same error message. I have also performed a CHKDSK /F and am still unable to delete.
I am the admin on this PC also.
Any thoughts on how to delete this folder is appreciated.
thanks!
