Empty folder won't delete

[Derpderp]

I downloaded a program the other day, now the folder it was in won't delete. I deleted everything that was inside and it still says the folder is being used and can't be deleted.

-Can't be deleted by file assassin
-Program Explorer shows it as being opened and used by Flash Player
-Folder type is "File folder (.DEVIATED)"


Is this likely a virus causing this? How do I fix?

Did you try uninstalling the program? That's usually the best way to get rid of unwanted programs.You could try Unlocker.
You can download and install Unlocker .Make sure you decline each of those free offers so they won't get loaded on your computer.

uninstall Flash player or the program that was originally in the contained in the folder? The program that was originally contained in the folder was an .exe program that didn't require being installed. It deleted without any issues, leaving the folder empty, but undeleteable.

Will it delete with Unlocker?

Unlocker is the best solution for this kind of issues. I have used it more then 1000 times.
Definitely it will work. Try it.

Hey, sorry was away for a few days.

my computer has since been restarted and the file is able to be deleted now.  Guess I was worried over nothing, but it was odd.
