    Hi buddies

    I have a folder of a user eg NewGuy which is already removed from the User<ControlPanel but still remain within Users folder.

    I dig into this folder properties>Advanced Security and can change ownership to a current Admin. I then tried to Apply "Replace all objects permission" Even at this point it failed to enumerate objects

    Then i tried to delete this folders and it subs but it keep saying it is used by a program.
    On line help not too helpful, WindowsBBS please help.
