This is the first time i have seen this message "Cannot delete folder <aaa>:
Directory is not empty." I delete the ONE file that is contained in the
folder, yet it always reappears when i reopen. What's the deal here? Thanks
in advance.

Is this a folder that you created? Or did it just appear? If the latter,
then I would scan with a current version antivirus (not earlier than
2004) using updated definitions. Do your scan in Safe Mode.

If you created the folder, then try deleting it in Safe Mode.
