We have a folder that has 3 files in it that are not in use or locked.  When
we try to throw this folder away and empty the trash, we get the message
"Cannot empty trash, file is in use."  When we tried Norton, he says that the
file is invalid.  MacTools says the file doesn't exist, but it still shows
up in the MacTools file list.

Today we tried the FOLDER FROM HELL repair utility and it was also unable to
fix this.

The system is a Mac II, 8MB, 40MB HD, System 7.0.1 Tuned-Up.

Any help, solutions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Please send
