Hi, I just made a folder somewhat invisible. I changed the folder icon to a blank icon, and I've renamed it with a blank character (Alt+255 (NumPad). But I want to delete it, but it won't delete itself. I am currently using Vista Home Premium and I'm tired of the User Account Permissions and Security settings. How do I get rid of the file?




(Please note that I've tried the software called "Unlocker". It said 'Error Debug Privileges')

Try renaming it first to a proper name then try deleting it.

I can't rename it. If I try, it will just go back to the invisible character.
