Hello folks I hope you can help me a wee bit here, I have had this problem for over a year now and it's really annoying me now because I cannot figure out how to fix it.

I use Cute FTP Pro to access my web space and I upload bits and bobs for secondary back up like IE6 favorites and screenshots etc. I have a folder called 'media' that refuses to be deleted. The only thing that has ever been in this folder is my IE6 favorites.zip which has long since been deleted and the 'media' is now empty.

Using Cute FTP Pro and trying to delete the 'media' folder I get the following error displayed:

"File exists ERROR:>Requested action not taken (e.g., file or directory not found,no access"

I have tried renaming the folder, putting something in it, moving to another folder and then deleting it and also using the free 'FTP Explorer' software to access my webspace and delete it with no success.

Seems I can do everything with this folder like move it etc. but just cannot delete it. The CHMOD/Permissions are set to 755 (read, write, execute)

How do I delete this folder please?

Thank you.
