How to delete a folder corrupted by a system crash?

My laptop crashed part way through copying a large folder from the laptop hard drive to an external network drive. This folder now appears on the destination drive as greyed out, and when I try to delete it, the system says the operation cannot be completed because one file is still in use (presumably the file which was being copied when the crash happened).
How can I delete this folder?

The laptop is shutting down suddenly, I think because the hard drive is failing. When I run Disk Utility on it, there is no problem; so I think the issue is in the hardware.
Restarting the destination drive helped but did not fully solve the issue. When I deleted the folder, it disappeared from view but the system reported that the operation could not be completed because a file was missing; and I can't give another folder the same name as the deleted folder (I re-copied the folder from the laptop). I have the same issue with two other folders which were corrupted in earlier crashes.

How to delet edited folder? (iOS iPhoto )

How to delet edited folder? (iOS iPhoto )
Who can teach me? Thanks a lot.

The edited photo album is where the recipes for the edits you made are stored. The Edited folder is created and removed automatically by iPhoto for iOS. It will disappear when there are no edited photos.
If you want to remove the edited photos go to each photo and select revert to Original. That will delete the edited version. Once all edited photos have been Reversted to their original version, the Edited Photos album will disappear.
Of course the next time you edit a photo the album will return.
Note that the Edited Photos album only shows in iPhoto for iOS. It does not appear in the Photos app.

How to delete photostream folder from camera roll on iphone 4

Since this is a user to user help forum only, no one here knows. If to be included with the next firmware update and a fellow user is privileged to this info in advance, they aren't allowed to say.
If you didn't want a photo or photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone in the first place, why did you transfer the photo or photos? And since you should be syncing your iPhone with iTunes often, what difference does it make? If you need space on your iPhone for some reason, you can delete a movie direct from your iPhond that was transferred from your iTunes library to free up much more space with a single swipe than a few photos that you chose to be transferred from your computer.

How to delete a folder in Documents To Go.

I've created a folder in Documents To called Song Lyrics. In that folder I have several 100 songs with lyrics. Now I want to delete the folder but there is no delete button. I can delete each song individually but that doesn't delete the folder itself. How can I delete the folder?

I'm no expert when it comes to Docs To Go but I'm wondering if pressing and holding the folder for a second or two will bring up a Delete option. Just a thought.
Cheers.

How to delete the folder VOLUMES on the main drive?

Leopard creates a folder called Volumes on the root with aliases to external hard disks. I can delete the folder but as soon as I connect to the local network server, the folder Volumes appears again with an alias to the hard disk in the server. How do I permanently delete this folder? My Dock grid list is totally ruined by this folder. I was used to 5 folders on the root. Now it's six and I don't want that. I never had this annoying folder and I didnt do anything except for the 10.5.4 update. I also have no file or folder sharing active. The Volume folder also (re)appears when I connect an external USB disk. pls help

A problem I have with this folder is that although it is an alias, sometimes when I do file transfers (such as receiving large amounts of photographs via pando etc.), as well as downloading the file to the external drive, as I have instructed it, is stashes the same file in the "Volumes" folder, and over time it can really start to eat away at the disc space. (I only recently discovered this recently and was this able to free up about 12 GB of disk space). I am pretty sure this is abnormal behavior for this folder, but I don't have any idea where to look to find what the problem is. Any idea what might be causing this, and how I can stop it doing it? It isn't catastrophic, now that I know, because I can periodically go and clear it out, but the eroding disk space caused me lots of problems until I discovered that this is what was causing it.

How to delete the Folder from sql server 2008

Hi all,
I was trying to delete the folder from sql server 2008 with the below script
DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files
DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(8000)
DECLARE @folderName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup
SET @folderName = + (CONVERT(varchar(10), GETDATE()-7, 112)) -- 7 days back date folder name
SET @path = 'I:\Backup_Test\' + @folderName -- Folder path
SET @cmd = 'del ' + @path -- Delete
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
--Print @cmd
This is not working it was asking the Confirmation (I:\Backup_Test\20100629\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? ) what will i do to the delete the folder.
Thanks,
Prasad R.

I would notice   you that T-SQL does not play well to do things like that. Do not you want using .net language to delete folders?
Old method is
declare @HR int, @CFOLDER varchar(255),@FSO int
    set @CFOLDER='D:\folder\'
    EXEC @HR = sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @FSO OUT
    EXEC @HR = sp_OAMethod @FSO, null, 'DeleteFolder', @CFOLDER
Now regarding to your second question please examine xp_fileexist system stored procedure
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fn_file_exists(@filename VARCHAR(300))
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @file_exists AS INT
EXEC master..xp_fileexist @filename, @file_exists OUTPUT
RETURN @file_exists
END
GO
-- test
SELECT dbo.fn_file_exists('c:\a.txt')

How to delete a folder?

When I right click on a folder and click delete, Lightroom correctly deletes all pictures in the folder, removes the folder from the library, but leaves empty folder in the file system. Is there a way to make Lightroom delete the folder? I'm not deleting just the pictures, I'm right clicking on the folder and selecting delete.
Thank you.

That's the expected behavior, and it's the same in the beta 2 version. Both Mac and Doze have the ability to have empties removed if this is a big problem for you.
If I am removing a lot of images- as in all of them in a folder, I'll just select one, hit Cmd-R, which takes me to it in the Finder, and then Delete the whole shebang there.

Hi,
<b>DO NOT</b> delete archive log files without making a backup <b>FIRST</b>.
It is possible that you need those files in the future.
You can use BRARCHIVE to schedule periodical backup+delete of the files.
