How to Delete Invisible Folder

Many people have had problems deleting invisible folders that they made from their desktop. This video shows how to solve that problem.

Note: in the video on command prompt the file path was automatically set to C:\Users\%userprofile%\
if the file path on your computer was set to something else on cmd like
C:\Documents and settings\%userprofile%
then type each line below in this order while pressing enter after each line:
cd C:\
cd Users
cd %userprofile%
cd desktop

how do you delete it if its in your documents???

[jakash3]

cd "%userprofile%\Documents"

ren "{ALT+255}" "othername"

del /f /q "othername"

I get a message that says "The Syntax of the Command is Incorrect" please help me

[jakash3]

The syntax: ren " " "foldername"

After you type: ren "

then you use the key combo ALT+255 which should produce a blank space then use ending quotes, then space then type "foldername" and press enter.

[jakash3]

After renaming the folder as shown in my above comment, type: DEL /F /Q "foldername"

and press enter; that should delete it.

How can you delete it in your document folder?

[jakash3]

In cmd first type: cd "%userprofile%\documents"

Then press enter

and type: ren " " "newname"

then press enter and type: del /f /q "newname"

When renaming the file with the "ren" command make sure you use the ALT+255 key combo when specifying the file to rename it to.

i kno the easyest way to do it

1) download win rar

2) righ click on the folder and click "add to archive"

3)when archiving tic the box that says "delete after achiving"

4)after doing that you have a rar file

5)DELETE THAT MOTHER FUCKER!!!!! :D
