You can just use the command prompt and navigate to the folder and type del *.* but if there is a lot of files this will take along time, you can then delete the folder.<br />
<br />
Hopefully you have re-created an empty folder with the same name?

the command line should still work it will just take a while.<br />
<br />
The other option is to bulk select the files in Windows Explorer and SHIFT+DEL<br />
<br />
Just don't do them all at the same time.<br />
<br />
Gary &gt;&nbsp;Not sure that will work now the folder has been renamed?

Hi<br />
I need to delete the Badmails folder. I've renamed it and want to delete it.<br />
I tried with shift-delete, but it said 'preparing to delete' for 2 hours.<br />
Is there any cammand line utility that can do the job?
