didn't help either :-(

only if you know whats is in the foler and making sure that you don't need whats in it. check hidden folders and files see if any hidden display. i would take the ownership of the folder and delete it. you can use these command to take permission and delete folder make sure you are loggin in as administrator or run the cmd as administrator icacls file_location (eg. c:\new folder) /grant administrators:F if exist file_location del file_location /s /q if exist file_location RD file_location /s /q give it a try and cross your fingers :)

Solution: open Command Prompt (CMD) via RUN then use DIR /X to show the non-8dot3 file names... the folders name is then something like Folder~1 then either rename or delete the folder using dos commands and the short 8letter name.
