    Delete folders in Libraries

    I am trying to delete a folders under the library of Videos and Documents. These folders do not exist so I try to delete I get an error message.

    Location is not available

    So it will not let me delete this folder from the library.

    Any ideas how to delete or remove these (ghost folders) that don't exist anymore and are still listed in my library.

    Thanks.
