There is a folder on my pc that I cannot delete. It is in my Start Menu,
Programs. The folder itself is empty and the attributes say 0. But when I
try and delete it, the message appears 'Cannot delete file: Cannot read from
the source file or disk'. I've tried everything I know to get rid of it.
It's not a system file, just a game that I installed and have since
uninstalled. It uninstalled everything but left this silly folder that I
cannot delete. Help!!!


Drag and drop it to some other location , then try and delete .
