I am running windows 7
So basically, I want to remove a folder under "my documents" I've looked at the properties and it's checked as "read only" but instead of a check, the whole square is filled in. So if I uncheck the box and apply the change and then open the folder's properties again, it's filled in again!!! >:(

So I went into command prompt and started using "attrib". I entered "attrib -r +s drive:\{the path to my folder}\{then my folder's name}" and it seemed to have no problems with that. So I go back and check the folder, and I still can't delete it and the read only box is still filled in. And keep in mind, I am doing this on an admin acct. When I drag it to the recycling bin, it says "are you sure you want to permanently delete "folder name)?" I click yes and nothing happens... I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I'm not a computer wizard by any means, so if any of you guys are trying to help me, don't assume I know what you mean when you just tell me to "bla bla bla" I need to know where to go, what to type in (etc.)

Also, I have tried using killbox and that didn't help ether.
Any advice is much appreciated. ^_^

What purpose does the folder have? Does it have any other folders inside? Did you apply the permission change to all sub folders and files as well?

If you're really sure you want to delete this

rmdir /s "insert foldername here"

Make sure you're "run as admin" for the cmd prompt. You won't be able to recover this.

Purpose: it used to store some old things I found on a long lost flash drive. Music and stuff. And yes I did. I'm going to see about what the other guy told me.

UPDATE: I typed "rmdir /S drive:\documents>\'Folder name'" and it told me that access is denied.

UPDATE: problem solved. The UAC settings where too strict. Haha all that work and research for nothing XD

Now if this was Unix or Linux, I would simply type the following in the shell:

rm -f /home/thomas/Documents/folder/*

It's as easy as that.
