Deleting folder issue

My computer is running on Windows XP Professionnal, Service Pack 2.

I want to delete a Folder but Windows indicates that it cannot delete the folder because there is a missing file (CAS9MNC5) in the folder. This file is unknown to me and I don't have any idea on how it got in this folder. If I use Windows Explorer to look into that folder (including hidden files), the folder appears to be empty. If I look at the Folder Properties, it shows: size 0 bites / containing 1 file.

I have used the Dos command "RMDIR" with no success. I have run CCleaner with no success. Any suggestion on what I can do to resolve this issue.

Welcome to the Forums.

Unlocker Try this out. CCleaner doesn't have this ability built in. Unlocker is designed to handle this type of error.

Also, please update to SP3 as support for SP2 will end very soon (July 13th).

Thanks AJ

The issue is solved

Unlocker did the job.

You're very welcome - and Aethec is right - no reason to not have updated to SP3 for XP.

I love unlocker it's AWESOME (and now can be portable too :D)

Unlocker don't work for 64-bit. *Sob sob*

LockHunter does

or you could just use Process Explorer and use the 'find handle' feature to find out what program has a 'hold' on a file.
