Gaming Deleting "Read-Only" folders?

[Raestloz]

A while back, I made some folders Read-Only, that way important stuffs won't be lost. But somehow now I can't remove the folder, what should I do?

 

[Ferrariman]

Right click the folder, and uncheck read-only

Done that, but the read-only attribute won't detach, no matter what I do, I wouldn't post this if it's that easy for me lol

Pisses me off, not working.

Apparently my folder's name is "Alt+01952", a null character, but is not space character, useful for me but it looks like command prompt dislikes that character, no effect whatsoever, so I tried using the erase command, turns out it didn't erase that invisible folder, it removes evrything but the troublesome folder.

So I decided to remove the videos and pictures folder and create a new folder with the same name, ictures and Videos, I lost my Videos (I backed up my pictures after my videos lost thanks to command prompt and my stupidity) and it wokrs wonders, no invisible folder in sight.

Actually, I think the problem lies in the folder's name, should I name it properly, this won't happen :sigh:

This happened to me as well(files had names that Windows couldn't display that I created on my computer) and I ended up just doing it at home. Grab this (It is Damn Small Linux but it comes with qemu setup). Delete the files using DSL, it should work.
