    One Drive lacks Delete option for empty folder still appearing in Shared section


    In One Drive, I was able to delete an empty shared folder from My Files, but that same folder still appears in the Shared area, and there is no Delete option along the top. FYI, I am trying to make One Drive empty for now. I cannot understand what makes the Delete button appear and disappear along the top. There does not seem to be a simple logic to One Drive, unless I am really missing the obvious. It seems odd to me that One Drive is not in the drop down subject lists for posts. Am I supposed to be on another community page?

    :)

  2. Windows Mail. Empty Folder will not delete

    Hi All,

    I have emptied an unused Folder and tried to delete it from my list of Folders. It is now a sub-folder and displays under the Deleted folder. When I right click to delete the folder and asked do I really want to delete it, a message appears at the top of
    the screen in an orange coloured banner stating the Folder cannot be deleted.

    Any suggestions welcomed.

    Regards, Stephen

    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 One Drive lacks Delete option for empty folder still appearing in Shared section :(
