Hi Again, Rick, Sounds like Windows Explorer isn't recognizing the changing of the Directory names(?). Here's a Link to a handy little Shareware program called Elftree (it's a small Download, and easy to learn). By using this to locate the Directory that the offending file is in, you might be able to delete the file from there. http://filepile.com/nc/download?1814+util95d If this doesn't work, let us know.
