How can I remove a folder without a name in Win7?
I use Windows 7. The problem can be seen from the picture. I have tried to remove the folder "by mouse". But I failed to do so. How can I remove the folder without a name?
UPDATE: Thanks to Nifle's answer, I got the following results:
It probably has a name that you just can't see.
Try dir /x
This displays the short names generated for non-8dot3 file names. The format is that of /N with the short name inserted before the long name. If no short name is present, blanks are displayed in its place.
More info type help dir
or go here
Then when you have that name use the rmdir
or rd
command to delete the directory. (Or del
if it's an invisible file)
I suggest you boot from a Linux Live CD (e.g. Ubuntu Live CD) and try deleting the folder.
After booting, go to Applications > Places
and click on Home Folder to open Nautilus (i.e. the File Explorer for Ubuntu). Then check if the folder is visible and try to delete it with the right click menu.
