Even tools from Norton wouldn't touch it. Finally I bowed to the inevitable and copied the entire drive except that folder to a new hard disk and then put that drive into a new machine which wiped it out.
Believe me I really tried on that one over 2 years. The only item I didn't try was a sector editor.

I know this is a common issue, but I haven't found a solution that works yet. I have a folder on a non-system hard drive that for whatever reason is corrupt. I can't access the folder or delete it, and yes, it is taking up space.
I have tried Safe Mode, Safe Mode Command Prompt, and Chkdsk with no luck. For what it's worth, I can look at the "properties" of the folder and it says it is not taking up any space, but I know it is anyway.
Thanks.
