I'm trying to clean up some folders on my computer, but when I try to delete i686 folders, it won't let me. I've deleted all the files within the folder, it seems empty to me. But when I try to delete the folder it gives me the following error:

Cannot remove folder .libs: A file with the name you specified already exists. Specify a different file name.

I have tried to change the .libs folder but I get the same error. Is there a way to permenantly delete these folders? I am using Windows.

Very strange.

I am using Windows.

Sounds like you're using Linux--why do you have i686 folders? Are you compiling NEURON
from source code? Under Linux, rm -rf i686 should remove i686 and any subdirs.

Oh sorry.

I originally compiled the files in Linux and now I'm trying to erase those files from a Windows envirnment using a remote access software called Citrix. I am not trying to open the NEURON files, just erase them. I may have to telnet into the linux itself to erase those i686 files.

Thanks for your help.

I've never had any difficulty removing .i686 directories under MSWin 2K or XP. Who knows
what limitations exist when trying to do that via a login under Citrix.
