Paranormal folder.....

[robin.munro]

I seem to have a folder on my desktop that does and does not exist.

The system sees it, but I can delete it - Cannot read from the specified device.

I can create an identically named folder and the system is quite happy to entertain both of them.

I have run chkdisk and it found no errors....

When I view it's properties all the entries are blank (no zero, blank)

If I try and drag and drop a file into it, it creates and identical folder and puts the file in that.

Any ideas how I can delete it?😕

What's the name of the folder?

 

[robin.munro]

It was created by Get Right, my download manager....

it is the IP address of the files I was downloading.

Have you tried....

Have you tried to delete it through command prompt....usually that'll do the job!😀
