The answer to my problem has appeared at least twice in the last year, but
I can only remember the first half of it. I cannot delete a folder which
appears empty, but the alert box says "busy or not empty". DiskTop reports
that the folder has -1 files, which is the problem. What do I do next?
Perhaps it is time to post the answer again.
