empty folders

I used Metadata Fixer to extract some Google Photos files. I am done with the folder that held the zip files and can delete it, along with the empty folders within. However, when I select the folder and press Delete I get the message: "Could not find this item. This is no longer located in...

So I decided to do some cleaning in my PC. But one thing that has been bothering me a long time and was afraid to delete them, are some folders with long names containing random numbers and letters on my Local Disk. Examples: 0e42926df47d3dd246932dc8c69d1c 92b0cc202300988ef32292...

Hey guys, I got a problem with my laptop. My old laptop crashed some weeks ago. It doesn't work anymore if I press the power button. So I took the hdd and connected it with desktop-pc to rescue the data. I had to get the rights for the user folder and windows got it automatically for me. But now...

Hi: In recent months using Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 laptops and 5 USB devices (3 are WD and 2 are Seagate) many, but not all of my folders are empty, meaning their subfolders are empty with all files missing. While I’m not absolutely certain, I think the empty phenomenon begins with the base...

I have most of my games & Steam on this particular SSD & every time I access the drive to add a mod etc there is always at least 50 empty locked .tmp folders (lost count of the number of times I've deleted them) they are all variously named but all start with MSI.. what are they & how can I...

Hi all, I used Glary Utilities empty folders finder and found a whole bunch of empty folders, I was wondering can I just delete all of them or should I just leave them where they are? Thanks, Frank

I have half a dozen or more programs in the Start Menu whose icons are either greyed out and their folders are "empty". I tried reinstalling them, going to programs and right-clicking "Repair", running Unhide.exe and a program to rebuild the Windows Icon Cache, nothing has helped. I have...

I'm in a panic mode. My files are supposed to be inside a subfolder within the drive. Now all the subfolders are visible but there is no contents inside. That is My Computer - DRIVE F - Subfolder A (visible) - Subfolder A1 (visible) - contents in Subfolder A1 (EMPTY). Now when I check DRIVE F...

Hi guys, I recently upgraded my cpu and mobo and hdd and installed w7 64 bit. I use Carbonite to back everything up and it works great except all my movie folders are empty. I was using 32bit w7 before i did the swap. The funny thing is i figured i would just go and get them off of my old hdd...

Hi I have managed to get my Zensonics z500 media player to show me the media folders on my windows 7 machine, in the video library, but the files have no contents. If the original file on the PC had an AVI movie that file showing on the z500 is empty. It originally worked fine in the old XP pc...

Hello Ive got some odd compability issues with my MPIO-MG200 mp3 player (used to work fine on window xp). Basically windows7 seems to find it and install some drivers to it straight away without any problems- shows up under the devices and with firmware V1.00.11. But when I open it, it...

Hi. I just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 last weekend and I must say its been a really bad decision, Win7 is not so much of an improvement to me. We always think the grass is greener. The other idiot thing I did or didn't do was not back up so I could roll back to Vista so I am stuck with...

Hi, I'm new to W7. When I create a new folder on another network place (usually my server), the pc times out because it creates more than one folder. If I don't do ctrl+ald+del quick enough it creates hundreds of empty folders! The other network places are a mixture of XP, win 98 and win 95 PCs...

Dual boot - Windows 7 RC1 7100 64bit / Vista Ultimate 64bit / USB2 External Drives I'm posting this problem history for the benefit of others who may be having the same or similar problem. I have several 500GB USB2 external drives that store seldom used image and video files. I opened a...

Does anyone have stuff showing up in W7 that is random stuff from the "other" boot drive. To try and explain, let's say you have a plug in for an audio application installed on the XP partition, but for some reason the manuals from this plug in are also in windows 7:eek: Now, not the plug in...

After using the 'Rebuilding Media Library' option, going into my AppData -> Local -> Windows -> Media Player folder and clearing it out and ensuring that my folder permissions are correct I still can't get Win7 media player to add the files in my folders. I can add the files manually but WMP...
