Hi,

Recently I faced the same problem and I was wondering if you are still
unable to delete the folder. I finally succeeded in deleting the folders by
opening a command prompt, then used the dir /x command to get the 8.3 name of
the directory and then used the rd command with the 8.3 name of the
undeletable folder and it vanished!

Sorry, yes I checked... the folder I can't get rid of is NOT the rip to

In Windows Media Player Tools Options, on the Rip Music tab, is that
folder the location given for "Rip music to this location"? If so, can
you change the location?

Thanks... yes and the command line comes back with the error: "invalid or
cannot find"... it's like it's not there... except that it is sighs

Hi, Tim.

Thanks but no joy... the command line option just fails

You DID run the Command Prompt *as Administrator*, didn't you? See
Brink's instruction 3 on that page.

Thanks but no joy... the command line option just fails and through
explorer, the security tab on the properties dialog says with a nice
red X:

"The requested security information is either unavailable or can't be
displayed."

the
following error:

"Could not find this item... This is no longer located in
C:\users....
Verify the item's location and try again."

The folder shows up in search and of course it appears where it was
originally placed... I did a reboot and chkdsk...

Any way to get rid of the folder ??

Thanks,

Hi Tim,

You can try to take ownership of the folder first, then try to delete
it. This tutorial will show you how.
