An install procedure for a utility created (what seems to be) an
infinite series of nested folders with the same name. If I try
to put the highest level folder in the trash, I get an error
from my Mac Plus "Not enough finder memory" (or something
bogus like that) and the folder (from hell) is placed back where
it was before I attempted to toss it.
The folder, and the folders within are definitely unique (ie the
nesting is not recursive). I tested this out to a depth of over
100 folders. I can move files in and out of the folder(s) from
hell, and move any folder to the desktop. The damn things are
very annoying.
Does anyone have any ideas (besides backing up all my data
and re-formatting the disk)? E-mail replies, and I will post
what actually works.
Thank you in advance to anyone who attempts to help!
