I have had Norton utilities for years. Currently Xp sp3 and V12 systemworks.
I tried empty my norton protected files a few days ago and noticed that I had 1500 files that would not delete. I then checked the recycler folder and found 49000 files dating back to 2001.
So my question is how do I get rid of them? When I try to delete them in windows Explorer (as expected)I get a message "cannot delete file: cannot read from source file or disk"
Back in the good old days of DOS I probably would have changed their attrbutes and eleted them that way.
Suggestions welcome.
