After installing SP2 I'm left with 2 empty folders that I can't open or
delete. Any ideas without formatting a disk drive on how to erase the 2
folders?
F:\d6d0ca5\sp1
F:\db6b65ff580\sp1
*** I receive the following fault when trying to delete. ***
Cannot delete sp1: Access is denied
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected
and that the file is not currently in use.
**** I see this fault when opening the sp1 folders. ****
F:\db6b65ff580\sp1 is not accessible
Access is denied
