Foledr(s) can't be deleted if inspected (opended and closed)

Post by mahsudesh »

Once a folder is clicked open and the files therein verified to be safe to delete,  xplorer2 refuses to delete that folder (access denied) although the files inside are CLOSED and the opening application is EXITED. I'm using 1.7.1.4 LITE under XP /SP3.  Then I seem to have to RESTART the xplorer2 once, open & close another drive once and swing back to the same folder and delete the folder this time without opening it. Rather weird and time consuming. Any thought as to why? Thanks.

In my case, the option "Don't lock browser folder" is checked. Checked or unchcked the problem persists.
