- I posted about the folder problem yesterday. A few hours later, the
- Macintosh software frequently asked questions (FAQ) posted, so I checked
- on about the folder problem. Here is follow message from FAQ.
-
- ----------
- WHY CAN'T I THROW AWAY THIS FOLDER? (9.2)
-
- Possibly the folder contains items that are locked or in use
- and can't be thrown away. Turn off file-sharing (if it's on) and
- quit all applications. Then try to throw the folder away. If that
- doesn't work and you're using System 6, hold down the option-key
- and drag the folder into the trash; or, if you're using System 7,
- hold down the option key while selecting "Empty Trash" from the
- special menu. Holding the option key down lets you throw away
- locked items. If that doesn't work restart the computer, hold down
- the option key, and try again. If you still can't throw away the
- folder, try throwing away the items in the folder (if any) one by
- one until you find the ones giving you trouble. Remove them from
- the folder, and then throw the folder away. If you still can't
- throw the folder away, you've discovered a "Folder from Hell."
- Create an empty folder on ANOTHER disk with the same name as the
- Hell Folder. Then copy the new folder onto the same disk in the
- same folder as the Hell Folder. Click "Yes" when asked if you want
- to replace the Hell Folder. Now you should be able to throw the
- just copied folder away.

-
- I followed all of the processing, but it's failed. Because it was kept
- dialog appear. Here is a few list of dialog that I recevied.
-
- 1. The folder can't be deleted. The folder are in use.
-
- 2. The command could not be completed because the file not found.
-
- 3. The command could not be completed because an error of type -127
- occurred.
-
- 4. The command could not be completed because an error of type -1805
- occurred.
-
- The last processing in FAQ appeared the dialog number 1 and 4. Now,
- what I do with the stupid folder?
-
- NOTE: -127 means Internal file system error. I can't found -1805 on
- the system errors 7.0.1
