Problem Deleting Empty Folder In Win XP

Replying to mastercomputersReplying to Opethian

Unlocker works great on my laptop >_<!!

I really do recommend all of you with the same problem.

Moreover, we can see if what Mal-ware is accessing the folders (if exist)...

Thx yo!

Command "rd" or "rmdir" Removes (deletes) a directory.

RMDIR [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path
RD [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path

/S Removes all directories and files in the specified directory *in addition to the directory itself. Used to remove a directory tree.*

/Q Quiet mode, do not ask if ok to remove a directory tree with /S

Example:-

c:\>rd /s c:\my_work\pendingWork

WHERE "pendingWork" is name of a sub-folder under folder "my_work".
