I have Dir that I can't delete c:\user\ Stuart\music  Dir to be removed Dropkick Murphy's there folders in there but no files.  I tried to use command prompt but no go there. Can any one help this poor fool!

I assume you're using Explorer.  There may be hidden files.  You can set Explorer to show them.

I did have explore change to see all hidden files. I am using Vista as far as I can tell there is nothing in there the odd thing is the that the sub Dir is blank no name and the sub sub Dir is also blank nothing in them. I it is odd that the Dir are not named.

You may have a virus.  Try a google search for similar problems.

you could start the machine in save mode. and then try to delete the folders..

I will try safe mode but I thought the best way of deleting a dir is by using command prompt

i actually did a quick search. gues the answer could be hear http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-file-management/202037-how-delete-folder-no-name.html
the part with the dir /x from the command prompt is i guess what you are after.

good luck
