Windows 10 Pro, I have some folders from a client which I can't delete. Tried opening elevated prompt and doing del/f and rmdir, both say "can't find the specified file or folder". Folders are there lol... trying to rename the folders it says they are open in another program... don't think so because I killed explorer process before doing prompt commands. There are no files in the folders... trying to uncheck "read only" on the folder properties throws an error saying the system couldn't find the specified file ???

 

Any suggestions?

FIXED! It appears there was a leading space in some of the folders names... dunno how they got there lol. the only solution I found was:

 

rd [absolute path] " folder\"
