My friend has a Vista Home Premium (32bit) Dell desktop with SP2 installed - and
all other updates installed as of this moment in time.

A month or so ago he created 3 sub-folders in his Video folder. These are empty
and have not, as far as I am aware, been used.

When I say they are empty I mean there are no files inside. I have noticed that
there are some sub-folders, which are also empty

I am now trying to delete these folders (and sub-folders) - and each time I get
the msg "Cannot delete this folder - item cannot be found" - and the delete fails.

So far I have tried this with elevated rights to Admin, in Safe Mode, and using
the command prompt - all without success.

I have scanned the hard disk with MSEssentials - fully up to date, and found
nothing.

At the moment I am running CHKDSK to see if there an error on the disk - but
halfway through there are no reports of an error so far.

Has anyone experienced this before? Would appreciate all suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
