Error deleting folder

[Chan000]

I have a folder I can't delete. When I try, I get this message:



error deleting file or folder

cannot delete file: cannot read from the source file or disk.



Can anyone help?

============================

Maybe you can delete it after a reboot...

or possibly in Safe Mode.



If not...the following freeware might be

worth a try:

Looks like an update folder or one still in use somewhere. If it IS an

update folder, better leaving it alone but if you are sure you don't

need it, John Inzer has your answer.
