- Summary: HOw can I delete this folder?
- Keywords: untrashable folder
-
-
- Yesterday somehow an empty folder named "Temporary Ioms" (actually the letter
- "o" had an accent grave on it) appeared and won't be deleted. When I try to
- trash it, a msg appears that says it cannot be deleted because the folder
- contains an item in use.
-
- I examined the folder with ResEdit's get info but I don't see any difference
- of this folder from other deletable folders. This folder is not checked as a
- System file, either.
-
- I tried to replace this by a folder with same name but I still fail and get
- the same msg plus an error code of -1805, which is not on a system error list
- I happen to have.
-
- I'm using IIsi 5/80 with System 7.0.1 (with Tuner 1.1.1).
-
- Any tips/solutions will be greatly appreciated. Please email directly to me
- as I don't read this mail group regularly.
-
- Thanks in advance.

- P.S. This empty folder doesn't do me any harm but it's just annoying. BTW, I
- also check with an anti-virus programs and it does not seem to be a virus.
