Re: [Help] Can't Erase Locked Folder/Files.
Is the folder quite literally names "______:"? (That is, is the name a bunch of underscores followed by a colon - but without the quotes?). The colon would be illegal, which might be what's messing things up. What might work in that case is to use deltree or rd with a wildcard mask from a command prompt - something like "deltree ___*" or "rd ______?" (with the proper number of underscores in the case of the latter).
(rd only works on empty directories. deltree works on non-empty directories and subdirectories, so be careful with it: If your mask is too general, you can delete a lot more than you intended.)
