Cannot Delete Item "Could Not Find This Item" issue

Boot into a Linux live CD environment and delete it with NTFS-3G?

"Isn't there a special character in the name of the directory? Like an ""empty"" character that looks like a space but is not a space?

Have you tried a ""Check Disk"", as the directory entry for that directory or its parent might be corrupted?"

"Are you sure the folder is actually empty? There could be a file marked Hidden and Read-Only, or System in there. Windows could be blocking you from deleting because of the Hidden+RO or System file.

Haven't got a Windows 7 machine handy here, but in Vista you'd make sure that you can see all the files by opening Explorer, clicking ""Organize"", selecting ""Folder and Search Options"", then clicking the ""View"" tab. If you scroll down that screen you would see a ""Hidden files and folders"" option, make sure they're shown, then scroll down a little more to where it says ""Hide protected operating system files"" and make sure that isn't selected.

Now have a look at the folder and see if there's anything more in it.

Alternatively open a command window in the folder and type attrib see if any files show up (probably with SH or HR flags set on them)."

"Before you do anything else, run some anti-virus and malware tools to make sure your machine is not infected with anything. You did open an unknown or possible untrusted rar.
