0 byte folder cannot be deleted Problem

I have a 0 byte folder and I can't delete it. I'm using win 7 64 bit.
please help *Cry :cry:

It says access denied when trying, please login as admin blah blah msgs....

I've searched the net for hours, Trying unlocker, fileassassin, and all other 'file deleter' programs out there. tried on safe mode, tried the cmd commands, even in cmd it says access denied, tried the closing explorer.exe and doing the command. I tried changing permissions and atrributes and it says you do not have permission to view or edit this objects permission settings. I logged in as the Administrator and still no hope.

the folder originally contained all my movies but since then i moved(using the move command) all of them someplace else(on another hdd) and I thought it was gone but the folder is still there, 0 bytes. It was shared when i deleted it and still appeared on the shared folders list but inaccessible coz it was already deleted so i 'unshared' the folder from the shared folders list. and so the problem began. the folder is still there and it is undeletable

One surefire way to do it without deleting my files is copying all other files to another HDD and reformat it and copy it back again but my hdd is currently contains 1 tb out of 1.36 and i dont have any hdds with that free space to use.

ALSO I CAN'T OPEN THE FOLDER it says

Location is not available

'directory' is not accessible.
Access is Denied.

i think its more of a windows glitch than a virus problem

help??? *Frown

 

When I try to delete a file from USB it show 0 byte size of that file

I have a problem with my computer, and USB.

• When I try to delete any file from USB drive, it show 0 byte size.
  
• The actual is not 0 byte.
  
• That pen-drive (USB disk) works perfectly in another computer, but when I try to delete then it will show 0 byte size.
  

Yesterday I plugged in a new Sandisk pen-drive, after this some auto install starts, I cancelled it and formatted that drive, and restarted system, but now when I try to delete any file from any USB than it will show 0 byte size.

I am using Windows 10, and this issue happens with any USB drive.
