    Resolved [RESOLVED] Corrupted folder?

    When I try to open a folder containing some data files I get a message that the folder is damaged or illegible (not sure these are the exact words, I'm translating the text from a Spanish OS). Fortunately I have a backup copy and have already restored it -with a different name.

    Now, just for the sake of tidiness I'd like to delete the folder but I still get the same message. I can't even get rid of it with such utilities as Unlocker (http://www.filehippo.com/download_unlocker/). Right clicking on the folder to see its properties shows a folder size of 0 bytes.

    Any hints?

    Does deleting/accessing the folder work in safemode?

    Couldn't start (log in) in safe mode, looks like I don't have administrator rights. In the meantime I asked my IT department to lend a hand.

    I could finally delete the folder by having chkdsk run at boot time.
