Error Deleting Folder in Win2kpro SP3: "directory name is invalid"
Posted by Pete Goss on June 26th, 2003


I receive the error "directory name is invalid" when trying to delete a
specific empty-folder in Win2Kpro (no hidden files shown). I am the folder's
owner and can also rename it. Any ideas on how to solve this problem would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
