I recently ran into a queer thing on my system.  After transfering the contents
of a folder to various other folders I attempted to toss the now empty folder.
The Finder refused, saying it was busy/locked, though getinfo returned that
it had 0 items in it.   

When I looked at it in Disktop and MacSnoop they each reported that the folder
contained, now get this,   "-1 items".    DiskFirstAid and Disk-Express both
found no fault with my disk.

After a couple of weeks of just letting it stay there, I finally deleted it by
putting a copy of an application in it and then trashing it.  Finder agreed
without a complaint.  (It did not even ask if I really wanted to delete the
application).

Any Thoughts?    (NB   MacII, 2 meg,  Apple internal 40Meg)
