I placed a zip folder in there
C:\Sandbox

Now I cant delete it
This is the nameof the folder
mp3player-Demo1

If it stays there its not a big deal but I would like to delete it
Thanks

I wouldn't have thought that storing something in the C:\Sandbox folder would have caused a problem.
Usually, it's one of the sub-folders that causes a problem.

You can use Windows 'cacls' utility, to see if it solves your problem.
It's described in this message thread:

Hi Guest10
I did a bit of research on that and I could not get anywhere with that
Maybe sandbox has a page pn dealing with this kind of an issue
Maybe there is a program to delte files like this

I have windows xp and i dont know where the Cacls utility is

If I have my sandbox folder here
C:\Sandbox

CACLS is available straight away, you don't need to hunt for it.

1. Click START then click RUN...
2. In the Run box, type CMD to open a command window
3. Type the following lines, pressing the ENTER key between each:

c:
cd \sandbox
cacls *.* /T /G Everyone:F

Once the last command has finished, type EXIT to close the command window.

Now you should be able to do whatever you like with the troublesome folder.

Cheers,

Hi dynarx
Thanks for trying to help me
I tried what you said 2 times and it didn't work
I must be doing something wrong.
Anyway I will try again later and will let you know
Thanks

The procedure uses the program C:\Windows\System32\Calcs.exe, which you should already have - assuming your hard drive uses NTFS formatting.
What dynarx listed, should have worked for you - if the procedure is going to work at all. Were there any error messages along the way?

You should be able to select and copy to the Clipboard, the 3 lines inside of the Code box, below.
Then paste them into a new Notepad window, and save it to your Desktop as
SandboxUtil.cmd

Double-click to run it. If Notepad opens, instead of a command routine running in a black window, then the file was saved with a ".txt". extension.
In that case, it must be renamed to have a ".cmd" extension, to run.

If this doesn't work, to let you delete the zip folder, then I'm at a loss.

(P.S. Maybe this little .cmd utility, or something more substantial that is based on it, could be hosted here for downloading.)

Hi Guest10
That is really amazing
I was able to delete it

That was technical stuff
I will have to spend more time with this program i think there are many good things I can learn from sandbox
Thanks
