Please Help!!! I have an empty folder which I can't get rid of. Whenever I try to delete it using the trashcan or DiskFit I get the file busy message. I tried to change all kinds of bits using ResEdit but nothing worked. How can I throw it away?

Ahhhh! you must have an invisible file in there (like the Desktop). Use some disk thingy DA to remove it OR Boot up some other disk, stick that one in and then toss it. That way the current Finder won't have that disk's Desktop open. Good Luck.

I've had this problem before. After a reboot the folder can then be thrown away.
