A question regarding rmdir

JohnChenMay 23, 2011 at 12:40 PM#

I tried to call rmdir /rebootok /r myFolder. myFolder is a full path to a folder which is not empty. It did remove everything within myFolder but an empty folder "myFolder" is still left behind. How can I remove the empty folder "myFolder" as well during the call? Thanks.

What when you reboot?
Maybe Myfolder is blocked by an application?

I think Myfolder is blocked by an application but couldn't figure out which one. Do you have any idea how to find out which application is blocking Myfolder? Thanks.

Use Process Monitor. IIRC you can view open handles.
