this is weird... I have folders in my hard disk that can't be deleted...really annoying.

I split my hard disk into 3 partitions, C, D, E.

C is my OS partition

D and E are my storage partitions. I have one undeletable folder in D, and another undeletable folder in E.

the thing is, i've had that hard disk set up like that for a long time -- I've formatted drive C several times but never formatted the other partitions.

could the problem be related to the fact that I never formatted those other partitions?

I've checked to see if they're archive or read-only and yes, they are archive and NOT read-only.

Good advice. Often you don't even have to kill explorer to delete from the command prompt. If that fails try the recovery console.
