One of my hdd's had been partitioned into 3, using partition magic. I
merged one small, empty partition into one of the remaining 2. PM
placed the files on this small, now defunct partition (Recycler & System
Volume Information) into a folder in the partition to which the smaller
partition was merged. When I try to delete this folder, I get the
infuriating "access denied" (ever have your car tell you "access denied"
when you attempt to make a left turn or open the glove box? ;-). How
can I get rid of this file? I tried resetting its attributes to remove
"read only", but it keeps resetting them immediately. Also tried
deleting it from a safe mode command prompt (ever miss dos???), no dice.
It takes up no space, but just as a matter of principle I want to get
rid of it ;-)
TIA
