steveg -> Cannot delete folder (8/8/2005 11:13:33)

I have somehow generated a folder called found.000 and it contains a number of sub-directories named dir0012.chk (the 0012 number can be different as it is an incremental number). The files within look normal. I believe it has been generated as a result of running the getdataback application to recover some deleted files. However, I don't need the files and want to delete the folder but whatever I do I am not allowed to delete.

I have changed attributes, started in safe mode used a delete utility and cannot get rid of the folder.

Anyone have any ideas?

Steve

More than you probably care to know...

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prkd_tro_kbnn.asp

This directory is a storage area for dumping when running disk checking utilites. Also when Windows is shut down improperly it stores files there.

Take care,

Brian
