Hi - I'm about a week into learning VB.NET, and I'm finding I can't delete
any of the VB.NET directory structures that contain my test projects I've
been trying to create. I've never seen this before... Whenever I try, it
says something like "access is denied" and "make sure the disk is not
write-protected and file is not currently in use". Is there something VB.NET
does that would cause this? I'm starting to build up a bunch of test
directories that I no longer need.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

If you try to delete the exe it will fail.
Did you make sure that these files are not protected?

Reboot and then delete them before you open VStudio.

Hi - rebooting doesn't help. For some reason something's got a lock on them.
Do you know of a way to check what's using a file or directory?

Hi - I can't delete anything in those directories, whether or not it's an
..exe. For some reason something's got a lock on them. Do you know of a way
to check what's using a file or directory? Also, how do you make sure a
file's not protected? I can right-click and choose properties on any of
them, and make sure they're not set to "read-only". Is there anything else I
can try?
Thanks a lot!

I just figured out why... these file and folders are subdirectories of a
folder that I have protected by EPF (Encryption Plus Folders) software.
Sorry for taking up your time with this, but I really appreciate your help

That doesn't make sense. I just deleted folders and files that are
encrypted. The file system was on a "foreign" XP system and I connected via
the C$ share. My user on that system is completely helpless when it comes
to managing her files.

Hi Michael -
I guess it depends on the encryption s/w you're using. From the Help file
in EPF:
"Folders that are included in the Protected Folders List are protected from
having their attributes changed, which includes copying, moving, renaming, or
deleting the folder."
Take care -

EPF must be an add-on to Windows. The native Windows Encrypted File System
doesn't protect against deletion.
