Solve Error "The Directory is not empty" (0x80070091)
Question by NewShower | 2015-11-01 at 18:37
I wanted to delete some folders from my USB thumb drive. However, at some directorys I get a notification that the operation could not be executed due to an unexpected error.
In addition to that, I get the strange error message "Error 0x80070091: The directory is not empty".
Can someone tell me what to do in this case and how to solve this error?
