Cannot delete a folder,HEEELP !

I have a folder on the desktop with my username that looks like a copy of:C:\Document & Settings\Username.
In this username folder there is an extra subfolder named .java.
Note: OS Wndows XP pro.The username folder and all the subfolders are 0 bites.
Cannot access them.
When I try to open or delete any folder, a window comes on the screen :Access Is Denied.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

 

I don't know how to delete this (safe mode, then do it; it may be part of the username u are using?) but can you change your posting from HTML to text please?

Why did you reply in HTML...

 

[huge snip]

Please turn off the HTML and don't send attachments to a non-binary
news group... PLEASE!

 

In Outlook Express, he has Tools>Options>Send>"Reply to messages using
the format in which they were sent" selected. He needs to uncheck
it...;o)

 

Thanks, Rosee.

 

Anytime Boomer....;o)

make sure you have the right account to do this... local administrator
rights...(if you are in a domain and don't know the local admin password
then you obviously are restricted in what you can do).. then you should be
able to delete the dirs... other than that try moving them (or even
renaming them.).to a different storage place if all fails and you do have an
administrative account then go into the administration and delete that user
account.then delete them..

If you don't need the space (0 bytes) then leave them be, they may be
used by the system.
If you REALLY REALLY want to delete them anyway do it from DOS but not
from a command window in Windows, exit to DOS.
