→‎Delete empty folder: forgot that system data is something that you can't see.
Line 22: Line 22:     
:This bugs me too!  Luckily I mostly use Linux which has the command "rmdir" to do exactly this.  I believe there's even a working DOS version of this command... it's a wonder Microsoft doesn't just hook it into the delete command. --[[User:MarkGall|MarkGall]] 11:43, 18 September 2009 (EDT)

::How about a real bug: A folder with no files in it claims to contain 15MB of data.

::How about a real bug: A folder with no files in it claims to contain 15MB of data. An empty folder isn't an empty folder because of this: say you delete a file by accident, then you delete the folder, but you want to restore the accidentally deleted file? Well, the folder saves a tiny amount of data noting that there was a file "x" once in it.
 
::Another bug used to happen to me a lot with Windows XP Professional SP2. The Recycle Bin would be empty, but the icon would show data still being in it. When I went to click "empty recycle bin", it would say, "Are you sure you want to delete 'WINDOWS'?". Sorry, but I don't have any screencaps of either bug. I can try to recreate the first one in the next few weeks though. [[User:KuonL|KuonL]] 14:26, 18 September 2009 (EDT)
