This has happened to me too many times.  I get usualy get evil folders that
will not be thrown away.  I will try all the usual tricks:

Reboot.
Rebuild desktop.
Disk first aid.
ResEdit.
FEdit.

I have recently resorted to backing up the hard disk and reformatting to get
rid of these things.  Can someone out there tell why the finder puts evil
spirits in random folders and how to get rid of them!
