On my desktop there is this folder, which I have used its contents and want to delete. Problem is when I delete it I get this:
folder ... contains items whose name is too long for the recycle bin. Do you want to permanently delete it?
So yes then:
Cannot delete ing: Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.
Restart xp does not help.
Help. Thanks

You cannot delete a file or a folder on an NTFS file system volume

Solutions does not help. There are 2 hidden files, jpeg, but nothing in it. When I unhide the files, it is still missing. When I view it, there is nothing in it. Then there is no way in the ms help that is the same as what I'm facing.

Hey myst, I had the same problem once before and I believe it was GLC who showed me Move on Boot. (http://www.soft32.com/download_8249.html) Works everytime for me, once its installed just right click on the file and select 'Delete file(s) on the next boot'
