There was some discussion of this not too long ago here, and someone came up with a suggestion I hadn't thought of: if you have DiskTop, use that to delete the folder. (If you don't have DiskTop, get it. :)) There was some perfectly reasonable technical explanation for why DT can delete folders the Finder won't, but I don't remember what that was. Can anyone re-explain? --Adam-- -- Adam Frix via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!200!Adam.Frix INET: Adam.Frix@f200.n226.z1.FIDONET.ORG
