    failed to enumerate objects in container, access is denied


    I've gone through the steps that are supposed to allow me to delete a folder but when I get to this step:
    failed to enumerate objects in container, access is denied-image.png
    The box at the top does not appear on my screen just the one at the bottom. Clicking the bottom box and continuing does not give me the permission I need to delete the folder. What else can I try? Thanks.

    It's on an external hard drive:

    I can't move it, delete it, or play it. Player says 'file not found'.

    I think I've found the problem. It was locked by a search engine. Once I cancelled the search I was able to delete it. New problem to me, but one I'll remember for the future. Thanks.
