bigdude Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 I need some help ASAP. I have Windows XP and for some reason I cannot delete the folders titled "My Music" and "My eBooks" that are contained under "My Documents". Everytime I try to delete these, about a day or two later, they pop back up. Is there anyway to permantly remove these subfolders?? thanksBigdude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Well I don't know about deleting them but you can hide them if you want. Go to the folder and right click on it, select properties and under attributes, check hiddenThen Tools > Folder Options > View and make sure 'do not show hidden files and folders' is checked.

andsome Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 WELCOME! I am puzzled as to why you would want to delete folders which are there for a purpose. Even if you don't use them what possible harm are they doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 No harm at all andsome.... but everyone has their own preferences about how they want their rig set up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Thier system folders, created by windows when you make your user. You cannot really delete them. My advice: Leave them alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Thier system folders, created by windows when you make your user. You cannot really delete them. My advice: Leave them alonePrecisely my point. What on earth is the point in wanting to delete a folder which you do not happen to use? I have several folders which I will never use, but they are doing no harm, and I only see them if I look for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
