Hi Lionel,
I learned from long coding experience, that unless you are absolutely
certain that deleting a folder is OK, that it should be renamed instead
(99.9999% of the time). The folder "C:\Lionel" could be renamed
"C:\Lionel-DELETE". Leave the folder alone for at least a few days and do
your normal work. If at that time, the "missing" files have caused no
problems, only then delete the folder (they are missing because any program
depending on them cannot find them in the renamed directory). If, by some
chance Windows will not allow you to delete the folder, reboot and before
doing anything else, delete the folder. If Windows still will not allow you
to delete the folder open Windows in Safe mode and delete it.
Good luck.
Best

Lionel:
I read your request, and Kees' response. Perhaps I have been doing it
"wrong" all these years. I just go to Windows Explorer and delete
whatever MS data folder I want to remove, OR if I want to just delete
all the stocks in the folder, I open MS, open the folder in question,
select all the stocks, and just Delete them.
This has worked (so far) on both my 8.01 and 10.1.
