is there a fix for this?

cutting and pasting files in another directory and then it came up an error message saying the folder cannot be copy or in use but then when checked the folder is empty.

it will tell u what is holding whatever up. if it is explorer. . .

you can enable Launch Folders in seperate processes via the folder options. its in the view tab. then, which ever window has the file, u can kill the process, then go back and u should be able to delete it.

its a whole lot of crap for all that tho. . .
