Sorry, neither the batch program nor the linked download worked. The three folders remain in place. I tried resetting the various attributes to the bottom sub-folders in each folder to see if I could do it the hard way. No luck there either. However when I try to reset the attributes it shows scrolling through a long list of files and then returns with the same message that the folder/files is/are not located on the C: drive. They may not be on the C: drive but they sure show up in the C: drive directory structure right after the normal "Windows" entry. Thanks to all for trying.

RichieUK:.....
I D/L'd the OTM utility, ran it as instructed and checked my directory for results. I now have only one of the three folders left, the "Windows.old" folder. After a reboot (cannot be moved immediately), I ran OTM one more time using only the following
:Files
C:\Windows.old
this is what comes up in the window under the green bar
========== FILES ==========
File/Folder C:Windows.old not found.
OTM by OldTimer - Version 3.0.0.6 log created on 11012009_091431
JFI, trying the to delete the folder continues to bring up the "not found" reply. I hope that by running OTM the second time I have not caused a problem in continuing this process.

Ran the erunt and fix as detailed in your post. The "Windows.old" folder still remains. I have attached a jpg of the error message that I receive.

I think the attachment problem had to do with size. I have resized it again and hopefully the forum will accept it this time.

Ok,i'm just about out of idea's with this one Alfred,you may decide just to live with it,or you could try the following but it does involve some work,its up to you of course.
If you decide to give it a go then here goes.
Download Linux Ubuntu 9.10:
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
When the download has finished you need to burn the image to cd using Nero or any other .ISO burning capable software.
Configure your computer to start from the CD-ROM drive.
Boot into the Bios and set your CD-Rom drive as first boot device.
For more information about how to do this,refer to your computer's documentation or contact your computer manufacturer.
Insert the Ubuntu 9.10 cd you've just created into the cd-rom drive and restart your pc.
On the opening screen,select your language and press Enter.
On the next screen you MUST make sure "Try Ubuntu Without Any Change To Your Computer" IS highlighted,then press Enter.
Now wait until the Ubuntu desktop loads up,this shouldn't take long,just a few minutes.
Once the desktop has loaded double click on the "Examples" folder.
Under "Places" in the left hand column,double click on the drive containing the "Windows.old" folder.
The File Browser will then open,navigate to "Windows.old",right click on it and select "Move to Trash",then exit the File Browser.
Once you've finished,click on the Ubuntu shutdown icon at the top right of the desktop and select "Shutdown" from the menu,remove the cd from the cd-rom drive,follow the prompts.

You could try opening up an Administrative level command prompt and run chkdsk /r to make sure the disk and file system are ok.
After that you should be able to take ownership of the folder and then give yourself full permissions and then just delete it.
