This problem is commonly encountered by persons who have had to rebuild a damaged operated system by, first, removing and attaching the hard-drive to second computer, then moving all the folders into a temporary new folder, then put the drive back in the original machine, then finally clean-installing a new operating system. When all is said and done and up and running again, then retrieve some of their documents, then attempt to delete the rest.)
Two answers:
1) highlight the the file or folder, right-click, then monkey around in the Security settings. Good look. It'll work sometimes, but many times it won't. It's time-consuming and will have you tearing your hair out.
2) Install "Total Commander", locate the offending file or folder, then select Delete (lower-right of box).
Total Commander will nuke 99% of anything you throw at it.
(The utility is also located on the Hiren's utility CD.)

How do you make a batch file to delete all files and folders in a particular folder in XP?
Here's the code: @echo off del "location of folder here" /Q /F /S The code, when run, will locate the mapped location of a folder and delete everything in it. An example: @echo off del C:\Users\Noah\WikiAnswers\*.* /Q /F /S You might want to get rid of the /Q and /F at the end as these two commands prompts the batch file to just go ahead and delete everything without asking for a confirmation. The /S is there so it deletes all the files in the folders in the targeted folder. Also, note that some folders can be protected either by Windows or by the owner of the folders and/or the file(s) in it, and this can deny access for your batch file to delete it if you are not the owner of the file or do not have permission to delete it.
