Hi Ed,

Thanks for the help, but it couldn't delete it. The actual folder structure is

"C:\Documents and Settings\Roi\My Documents\Projects\US Concrete\Drainage"
"C:\Documents and Settings\Roi\My Documents\Projects\US Concrete\Drainage\TestProjects"
"C:\Documents and Settings\Roi\My Documents\Projects\US Concrete\Drainage\TestProjects\ - "

I changed your code slightly to start at the "drainage" folder and then removed the test, so it would delete all the subfolders.

oFSO = CREATEOBJ('Scripting.FileSystemObject')
oFSCRoot = oFSO.GetFolder('C:\Documents and Settings\Roi\My Documents\Projects\US Concrete\Drainage')
FOR EACH oFolder IN oFSCRoot.SubFolders
      oFolder.Delete(.t.)
ENDFOR

I get this error: "OLE error code 0x800a004c. Unknown COM status code." when it tries to delete the parent of the " - " folder. Here is the wierd part, if I start on the parent "TestProjects", I don't get the error because it doesn't find a subfolder.

I tried a search at ms's site on that code and the only thing it finds is under "DirectShow" the following error: "CTL_E_PATHNOTFOUND The function attempted to access a file with an incorrect path."

When I try to delete it from explorer I get the error "Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk." I can't do anything with it, copy, rename, etc... I always get that same error.
