Where is this folder? If it's in the Administrator's 'My Documents' folder, there may be a backup you'll have to delete. If all else fails, delete the contents and check the 'All Users' hidden folder under 'Documents and Settings' (this may not be there depending on your settings, but if it is, it makes a backup of anything in the Administrator's 'My Documents' folder). Delete the backup folder and you should be able to delete the original without it coming back. If it's a folder outside of 'My Documents,' that's another matter altogether.

Yeah, that backup of the Administrator's documents is a pain in the arse. I had it turned off at one point without realizing it, but I reset my computer. The only reason I found it again is because it was making backups of my amv clips - really eating away at my harddrive with useless space-wasters. I make it a habit to go through that folder ever so often to delete anything over 50mbs.

Or use Windows .NET Codename Gundam, the only OS that comes with a pirated version of vmWare loosely integrated into the system!

Get Bloatware. Get Windows .NET Codename Gundam.
