Problem deleting a folder....

[wesleyw]

I have a folder in our user area with a space after the name which refuses to be deleted is there a way round this?

Tried it from CMD prompt?

Removed all shares / permissions?

Yeah sadly! It says the folder doesn't exist when you try and delete it, however the thing certainly does exist and I can copy file back and forth from it!

-deletes invalid files/folders.

Thanks for that, sadly it kept saying I hadn't selected the folder, being a twit and it being early I forgot about deleting it via it's short name "~1" et cetera. Done now thanks everyone!

Have you tried putting the folder name (with space) inside quotes?
