I downloaded a prorgram of Bitcomet and now for some reason I cannot delete the folder where the program was. It says it might be being used by another person or program but the folder is empty. And to mention the folder is entitled anydvd and at first the title appeared in black captions, now it appears in light blue captions...WTF is it?
Can anyone help me delete this f-ucking empty folder?

easy fix... start your computer in safe mode (on most computers this is done by tapping the F8 key repeatedly while the computer is booting up). Once in safe mode you should be able to delete the file since you did not load your entire registry (because of starting in safe mode) that file likely will not have loaded and can be deleted.

you may want to rename the folder then delete it, if that don't work go to task manager and close any program you might think May be running, if that don't work start your computer in safe mode and then delete it, if that don't work then start your computer in ms-dos command prompt and type delete and then the directory were the folder is located.

And if trying to delete in safe mode doesn't work try doing a house call (it's free) get ad ware or spy bot search and destroy they are also both free..

I would try to del the file in dos mode. If that does not work then try to clear the file out of the start up menu. then try to del the file again.

You need to reboot into Safe Mode and delete the file.
If that doesn't work, then you need to go into DOS mode (in XP) and delete it.
