You are gonna have to delete it by using command prompt.
Step 1: Rename your folder to something short like "folder1" to make the last step easier.
Step 2: Right-click command prompt and choose Run as administrator.
Step 3: Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up Task Manager, highlight explorer.exe and click on End Process at the bottom.
Step 4: In command prompt type: cd C:\Users\[YourVistaAccountUsername]\Desktop\ and press enter.
Step 5: Type rmdir followed by the name of the folder, (example rmdir folder1) and press enter.
Step 6: Close command prompt and use Task Manager to launch explorer.exe again, and voila the folder is there no more.

This is guaranteed to work if you follow the directions correctly, if you have any questions PM me.

Looks pretty complicated good thing Unlocker did the trick. That one will be my last resort heheh

QUOTE(giratina16 @ May 16 2010, 06:13 PM) Why don't you just back date your computer to before you had the folder?
Nah it's just a folder. I just wanted to know if it can be removed, well if not. I'll have to live with it

Basically if you back date your computer you will lose anything you had installed on the same day or any day after the folder was made.

you would need a backup point, I doubt that one exists just before that day.
Don't most computers make them at start up? I know whenever I back date my computer I have a restore point for everyday. That might be because I install something new on my laptop everyday, usually my antivirus updates.
