Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / September 2005Black Hole Folder
XP Home. A folder with only one picture in it was sent to the Recycle Bin. Now it refuses to be deleted for good, doesn't open, doesn't show the picture inside, and doesn't even show the same picture I put in another time. I moved that folder out of the Recycle Bin. Every time I try to delete it I get the message that the picture (JPG) cannot be found and cannot be deleted. Any idea how I can get rid of this folder? try deleting it in safe mode. > XP Home.

Any idea how I can get rid of this folder? Thanks for the input. Installed the app you suggested but the devil is still there. Tough nut to crack! Will not even erase or open in QuickView! I guess I can leave it dormant and not worry about it anymore. Thanks again. > This freeware works great for this > http://www.snapfiles.com/get/moveonboot.html [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >> try to delete it I get the message that the picture (JPG) cannot be found >> and cannot be deleted.

Any idea how I can get rid of this folder? Boot into Recovery Console mode (from the install CD or by installing the Recovery Console and selecting it from the boot menu). Then delete the Recycler directory on the drive(s): dir /ad recycler attrib -h -s recycler rd /s recycler I don't remember if Recovery Console prevents you from having permission to delete this directory.
