Back-up problem

Hi,

I installed Cobian Back-up 8 today, figured I would back some files up to external hard drive. I mistakenly had the path set up to go from C:My Documents to C:My Documents, after going back to computer a few hours later, I realized this, and it had copied it 15 times.

So, I figured I would just delete the new My Documents folder, but will not work.
I am getting this pop up window first; "The folder "My Documents" contains items whose name is too long for the Recycle Bin. 'Yes', Yes to all', 'No', 'Cancel'.....

If I click Yes, or Yes to all, another window pops up saying; "Cannot remove folder MYDOCU~1: The directory is not empty "

I have tried to go to the last My Documents folder, and delete from there and work back, but same things come up. I was however able to delete all the files(contents) from each My documents back-up folders

Any Idea's?

Thank you, Mark

 

Boot into safe mode and logon to the Administrator account. You should be able to delete those folders from there.

 

Thank you, I will try that and see what happens.
