    You can open it and it is empty? To make sure, do you have your folder view set to view hidden files? (In explorer, click tools, folder options, view, check show hidden files and folders).

    If it is still empty, I wouldn't worry but you could right click it go to properties, security and give yourself permissions on it.:wave:wave:wave

    Can you rename it and delete? Can you move it to your desktop and delete? Can you delete in safe mode?:wave:wave

    Yes it is fix...

    I found this solution for my probleme.

    Here it is if somebody have the same issue as me.

    When you try to delete or rename a file/folder, you may receive a window that says:
    "Item not found. Could not find this item. This is no longer located in [folder]. Verify the item's location and try again."

    To solve, follow these steps:
    1. Open up a command prompt (run cmd.exe from the Start Menu).
    2. Navigate to the folder that the object resides in.
    3. Run "dir /a /x /p" to display the contents of the folder, including hidden files (/a) and 8.3 filenames (/x).
    4. Find the 8.3 filename of the object to the left of the regular, long filename.
    5. Run "ren <8.3 name>" to rename the object, "del <8.3 name>" to delete it if it's a file and "rd /s <8.3 name>" to delete it if it's a folder.
    Note: If renaming to a long filename, make sure to enclose the long filename in quotations. If that fails, temporarily rename it to an 8.3 name and then rename it to what you want outside of the command prompt.

    If you are running windows 7 C:/user/your name/

    is the place where win7 places all your documents, pictures, music so please do not remove that folder!
    Windows 7 stores things a lot differently than XP and Vista did.
