[dba-Tech] Getting rid of some folders

I hadn't, no. But checking it proved that my memory was correct that there
are no batch files that would account for it (couldn't find ANY batch
files).

One thing that really confuses me is this:

"One place that I found suggested "copy" the name of the folder, delete it,
then make a new folder, pasting the name in. Then empty recycle bin and
reboot, then delete the now empty folder. I did that for about 1/2 dozen
folders and it worked. Those are now gone and haven't returned. So I started
doing the rest of them (20 more). But it's not working for those."

So why would it have worked for those half dozen, and not the rest?
