    When I go through windows explorer. I can delete the contents of the folder, but I'm unable to delete the empty folder. Windows closes with an error message when I try.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    We will really need the windows version you are using and the exact error message.

    Windows version is xp professional.

    error message is:
    Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

    If you are sure that the folder is not vital, then boot into Safe Mode and try deleting from there.
