Can't Delete Folder / Old Subdirectory Application...

[rehabjunkie]

...using FTP or delete / overwrite it when publishing using Visual Studio 2008.


VS2008 throws this error when publishing:


Unable to add folder '-foldernamehere-' to the Web site. Server error: '-foldernamehere-' does not refer to a page or folder in this web. It may be a page or folder in a subweb, or it could be a badly formed URL.


I previously published a web application to this folder but removed it using your web application tool ( the folders remain ). I then logged in using FTP hoping delete the folders. I was able to delete the files, but when trying to delete the folder ( there's two, the root and a bin folder ), FTP throws error 550: The directory is no empty, but both the root folder and bin are empty.


I tried bouncing IIS, recycling the pool, but nothing worked.


I've searched the forums but haven't found anything about this error. Sorry if I'm repeating a topic.


Couldtheproblembe that I'musing Vista FTP from Windows Explorer?


Didn't you guys used to have a way to delete files and folders from your control panel? I've been using you guys for a while under various logins.


Thanks for any help

Most likely there are some hidden files in the directory.

Create a support ticket. we'll be able to remove it for you.
