  22. I was told about another cheap alternative (haven't tried it yet)
  23.  
  24. 1) Create a new folder on another drive or in another folder with the same name
  25.    as the "Folder from Hell".
  26. 2) Drag this new folder to the same folder/disk that contains the "Folder from
  27.    Hell".
  28. 3) The Mac will ask you if you want to replace items with the same name.
  29. 4) Of course, YES
  30. 5) Now you can throw away the "no more Folder from Hell".
