    I have an email I'm trying to delete - but opening the directory or trying to delete it...


    It's one 72kb outlook email file - but if I believed my file system, I have 2.5M copies of it in the same directory and growing. There's nothing particularly odd about the email name - special characters, etc. Command prompt del commands, system delete commands not working - Recycle Bin and the system counting hits the same problem, counting an infinite number of copies and never getting around to deleting them.How do I get this thing off my system?

    :)

    Vista - Weird error trying to delete Start Menu item

    That's what I'm trying to do and where I get the error *Smile I have an email I'm trying to delete - but opening the directory or trying to delete it... :)

    I have run CCleaner, to no avail (still cannot delete folder/file).

    To show what I mean more clearly (not very good at explaining!), see this screenshot. As you can see, the folder I'm trying to delete is selectable, but cannot be deleted or have attributes such as Hidden applied to it.

    Thanks for the suggestion but it says "delete folder failed for E:\....." for each folder I try.
