    I am trying to delete a folder with sub-folders and files,and I get the following message:-

    "This is no longer located in C:\ Verify the items location and try again. "

    I have tried everything I know to delete these and certainly would appreciate any help in doing this.

    Many Thanks.

    It sounds like you're trying to delete a folder on the desktop that is really a short cut to folders elseswhere....And that the main folder is already gone.

    Thank you for the reply.

    The item I am trying to delete is not on the desktop, it is a folder, with 2 sub-folders on 'C' drive.

    When I click on the lowest level folder to see what files it contains I get a message that this refers to a location that is unavailable.

    Have you rebooted since starting this adventure?

    Is there a possibility that the folder you mentioned was in another location or on another drive?
