    Check its properties to ensure it is not marked as read-only.

    If it is on a server, do you have delete permissions on that server?

    Re: Cannot delete project folder

    Ok...when this has happened to me in the past, I went down to the command prompt, and delete the whatever from there, external to windows and windows explorer.

    I never had anything tell me I couldn't delete it from there.

    Thanks for replay.
    I still have same problem. After restart server I had ability rename or delete folders. But in my situation I cannot use that procedure often. Now again I cannot delete or rename folders. Folders located on network and I have permeation delete, rename folders. When I tried to delete, rename or remove Read only for folder I got mesage:
    "Cannot rename FolderName. Access is denied. make sure the disk isn't full or write-protected and that the file isn't currently in use"
    Nobody use that folder and space on the disk is fine.
    Thanks.

    Problem to modify project that located on server. When try to delete any project's file message is popup:
    "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."
    I tried to used command prompt of server, same result. When I'm on desktop machine everything works normally.
    Thanks.
