A friend of mine has two folders on his Mac+ hard disk, which he wants to delete and can't. There's nothing in either of them (either visible or invisible), but he gets a message from the finder saying that the wastebasket couldn't be emptied because a folder wasn't empty. ResEdit tells him the same thing when he uses its clear menu item to try to delete the folders, but again shows nothing in either of them. I seem to remember that this was discussed on the net not too long ago, but I don't remember any conclusions. All help gratefully received. Please email replies - I'll summarize if appropriate. Thanks. Jeremy Roussak
