O.P. Windows 7 Folder deletion?
Hi i am having a problem deleting a folder  on my computer. It says: "could not find this item this is no longer located in, 'the directory'. Verify this item's location and try again."

This is in Windows 7

Is it in any of the "Library" folders by any chance?

Try pressing F5 to refresh the view and see if the folder is still there

The cause of the problem may be lack of available RAM, such as if you're running multiple programs.

In this case, Windows Explorer will not refresh automatically, thus making it appear the file hasn't been deleted.

Pressing F5 (refresh) should work, if not, restart your computer.
