Removing Unwanted Folders.

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi again all,

Clearing up my PC after a clean install of Windows XP, I have come across a
folder on my D: drive called "d71795891bd17f4". It has been on the drive for
about six months. I think it was created when I first upgraded to SP2, but I
could be wrong. It contained over 100 files, mainly .sys & .dll & although
it was only about 18mb in size, I still want to get rid of it. I managed to
delete all the files in the folder, but there are still three empty
sub-folders in it. I think I started copying files & folders from one folder
to another & accidentally dropped them into this "d71795891bd17f4". Now when
I try to delete it or any of the other sub-folders, I get an "Access is
Denied" error message.

Does anyone know how I can remove these folders?

Thanks again in anticipation,

Dave.
