Trouble deleting a folder

Thanks for the suggestion but it says "delete folder failed for E:\....." for each folder I try.

*Confused

Will I be forever stuck with these unnecessary folders? *Oh Well hwell:

 

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.

 

Trouble deleting a folder

I downloaded Windows 7 earlier with the following plan:

Keep Vista on my current C drive
Try 7 on my E drive which had loads of free space

It didn't quite work out + to cut a long story short I've now got a messed up installation on my E drive and a perfect one (of windows 7 *Big Grin ) on my C drive.

I now can't delete the broken remains of the failed installation on my E drive, because I get this message:





I also get the same message when trying to delete E:\program files and E:\boot.

Is there any software or a utility within windows I can use to get rid of these folders?

Thanks *Toast :toast:
