SYMPTOMS
The MS-DOS DELTREE command does not remove directories named DIR000 where x is an integer number. For example, the DELTREE command does not remove a directory called DIR0001.



WORKAROUND
You must use a third-party disk utility to remove DIR000 directories.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft ScanDisk creates DIR000 directories when it finds directory structures that are damaged beyond repair. All the files in these directories have read-only and hidden attributes. The MS-DOS ATTRIB command does not change the attributes on these files.

Additional query words: 6.22 scandisk.exe
