<div>
Using dir /X, there are two folders:<br />
<br />
LIT~1 , which is the folder I want to delete. &nbsp;<br />
LIT~SA~1, which contains all my data is the folder I want to save.<br />
<br />
At a command prompt, I typed<br />
RD /S /Q F:\LIT~1<br />
<br />
The folder was deleted successfully.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help!
