Cannot delete folders after mkdir()

ben
Hi,

I am using php to make a directory (to store all of the users files for
the site), and it works fine

mkdir("/home/fullpathtomyser ver/public_html/users/$users_id/", 0777);

It makes the folder just perfect, BUT there is a flaw. The folders it
creates are un-deletable. I can browse them, and even link to files
within them, but I cannot delete them at all. I have tried deleting
them through FTP and cPanel's File Manager, but no joy.

Has anyone experienced this before ?

Thanks.
Ben

Using Access 2002. I have imported one form and two modules from another database, in order to compare code. Having finished the comparison, I cannot delete them. When I press 'Delete', I get a message asking for confirmation 'Do you want to permanently delete etc', I respond 'Yes' but the object remains. No error message is generated. If I try to open the object in design view, I get a message:

Hi All, I have seen many examples of deleting folders with subfolders and files. (system.io.directory/info etc delete method) However, I cannot find a decent code example which will work where some folders/files maybe read only or hidden. I know, basically have to change the file attributes to normal. Has anyone a good example of a URL for a good example? Cheers, Pete Gomersall

Cannot delete X: It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.
