Hi, Sandra!
Try rebooting your PC. Sometimes this deletes folders which are currently
in use.
If the folder''s still there, try deleting it after the reboot.

Hi all,
As I had a problem with Freedom Box last night, I decided to uninstall it,
get a new download from the website and re-install. After I'd removed the
program, I checked in program files to make sure nothing was left. The
freedom box directory was still there so I tried to delete it manually. I
got the following error message:
Cannot delete folder srvany.exe. Access is denied. Make sure that it is
not write protected or the disk is not full or the file is not in use.
I tried to re-install Freedom box and got the error cannot open file such
and such to write. Abort, retry, cancel or ignore. It seems that until I
can get rid of this folder, I won't be able to re-install Freedom
Box. So, after all this rambling, my question is, how do you delete a
file that won't delete?
Any help would be appreciated. I've also contacted Freedom Box about the
problems I was having with the program but they haven't come back yet.
Using Windows XP Home by the way.
Cheers,
Sandra.
