I wasn't sure Rhonda's answers addressed the question you were asking. As I understood the situation, you had no trouble getting to the directory you wished to erase; but the directory appeared to be empty, whereas Keysoft reported that is was not. When in the directory you wished to erase, did you press space with the letter x twice in order to have the directory listing include all files and not just Keysoft files? By default, the directory listings in Keysoft show only Keysoft files. But there may be non-Keysoft files (such as .txt files, .doc files, .brf files, and so on) in the directory. To get an inclusive listing, at the filename prompt press space with x until the response says something like "show all including hidden files". Once you have such a response, then do whatever you usually do to look at the file list in a directory. The list should now show you the non-Keysoft file or files which you have to clear out before Keysoft will consider the directory to be empty and allow you to erase it.

If Rhonda was right on and it was I who missed the point of your question, then my apologies for taking up your time. But in any event, have a great day.

Hi.
I tried to erase a old back up folder from a compact flash card and was told I could not because "The directory is not empty" but when I went to the folder, there were no files there.
What am I missing?
Thanks
