Windows.old Cannot Be Deleted...
Apr 2, 2008
I reinstalled Vista (x64 ultim., in Italian) upon a previous installation, then another time, 'cause the previous one went bad (drivers' issues; black screen); so I've got "windows.old" and a "windows01.old" folders. I easily deleted the latter, then I rebooted and tried to delete the former. Thus I hit "DEL", and deleted the folder (some 10 gb). Thereafter I rebooted, but... windows.old is still there on the root! Thus I tried to delete it, but the prompt said (I approximate a "translation" from italian to English) "impossible to find the item; it is no more present in c:. please check the item's path and try again" OMG! But how! I see it! It is still there! What can I do please? I want to remove it at all costs; it is like a challenge, 'cause I feel very frustrated that I have installed a OS behaving such a way!

How can I stop my deleted items folder being deleted when I shut down windows mail? I would rather keep the messages for a while before I delete the folder.

i thought to get the aero theme to my windows vista. So i search in google how to get windows aero. I found a way to have by installing a free program called VistaGlazz 1.3 (Available in Cnet.com). So I downloaded the program, follow the instructions and installed
windows aero. First it was good but then i thought how to make it look more transparent. So i tried to download a custom theme of vista aero by someone else. I dont know how i screw it but the thing is that i put the theme file in C:WINDOWSResourcesThemes. I saw the old file of vistaglazz so i tried to delete it. But when i deleted it my computer got corrupted and the all the thing got in black. saw that my desktop was all in black. I coudnt even see the letters. So luckly i change my windows into the classic version. When i go to C:WINDOWSResourcesThemes i saw that my Windows Vista theme file had dissapear. Even in customization and apperreances there was no windows vista. So now iam using a aero without windows vista original theme file. I dont know how happened but I think that in a way my windows vista theme file got mixxed with vistaglazz aero file. So it got deleted.

Permanently Deleted Folder and the folder below disappeared. how to recover. I also set up a couple of test folders after this happened and moved to deleted file. When permanetely deleting 1 folder it deletes the folders below and they seem gone forever. Searched for emails and folders and they are gone. Must be on the drive somewhere (forensics?)

I have an issue that I have just notied several files that I deleted over a month ago are still visible when doing searches on my computer. When trying to delete that I'm told that it is "no longer located in" the folder it was.
When looking in the original folder the files were in they are not visible.
They can only be seen when doing a search. Does anyone know how to completely get rid of them?
I believe this should happen automatically, but it does not appear to have worked as it was a long time ago that I originally deleted them.

I have Vista. Approximately 5 days ago, I tried to Delete my Deleted Mail Folder and it won't delete. I have to delete every message separately. I downloaded the 32-Bit Version 941090 package yesterday, it still does not work. I did have an automatice update a few days ago, and I am beginning to think that is when it stopped working properly.

I despair. Until recently I was running OE on Windows 98 and I regularly had problems with this same issue. I've gone onto Windows Mail with Vista and everything seem to be fine for the first month deleting mails en masse until now. I've got 299 items in my deleted folder and I can't empty it other than
by deleting one at a time.

I've been using Windows Mail for 18 months without any significant problems.
Now, when I delete an email from my "Inbox," it does NOT appear in my "Deleted Items" folder. It just seems to disappear. I did read many of the earlier posts and have tried the suggestions. I've gone to Tools>Options>Advanced>Maintenance - the "Empty messages from the Deleted Items folder on exit" is NOT checked. I've also gone to Current View "Show all messages" - that's identified/checked. Is there something else that I can do? I'd appreciate any suggestions. This is the first time I've used
the Discussion Group, so I hope that I'm doing this correctly.

Help. My Windows mail deleted all my February mail, even the ones in my inbox. Is this normal? How can I set it up to keep my emails, on my hard drive, indefinitely? Or is there a way. I never had this problem with Outlook Express and My Office Suite did not come with Outlook .

My system had Parite.B virus, so I downloaded Panda utility to delete it. After running it, it shows this in details window:
Deleting File: C:WindowsSystem32Wininit.exe
Modifying File "C:WindowsWin.ini", section: "windows"
I checked my system32 folder, and for now wininit.exe is there. its size is 95kb. I am afraid if this file got deleted, I wont be able to log-on to windows again. Same thing has happened to my friend in past where Norton deleted some crucial file in System32 folder, then whole system needed to be reformatted and reinstalled. I cant understand if the file that is still present in my system32 folder will stay or be deleted later as the utility said. what can I do now to protect myself from situation that might arise if this file got deleted?

The recylcing bin on the desktop was deleted. I'm not sure how to restore it, and can only make shortcuts of it on the desktop. I can't empty it if it is a shortcut. How can I put the recycling bin back on the desktop so that it is not a shortcut?

Our community centre has WiFi with WEP security. When I try to connect to it using my Win7 netbook, it does not offer any opportunity to enter a password, then it thinks for about 1 minute, then issues afailure message (I am writing this from memory at home, so I can't recall the exact wording of the error message). IIRC, I had tried to connect at some point in the past and may have entered an incorrect password. I would like to delete the network entirely and ensure that Windows is starting from scratch to connect to this network. However, I can't find anywhere that the network can be deleted. Nothing about this network appears in the Network and Sharing Centre.

I manually deleted an .dll which was infected (according to my anti virus software), the file was somewhere in AppData/Local, and its tag was "byXPGWpn.dll". Now every time I log on to Windows Vista a warning dialog appears informing that the file wasn't found. I restore the system to a previous point, but nothing happened. What does this file do? Should I replace it? If so: Ho do I get it?
