Can't delete project folders created by Visual Studio 2010

Solved:

Here are the steps I took:

  • Navigate into one of the folders inside the one to remove. If it can't be deleted, navigate into a sub folder.

  • Delete it.

  • After the sub folder are removed, I was able to get rid of the main solution folder.

  • I have not tried this yet for deleting, but I recently found how to turn on the hidden Administrator account. I'm assuming it would let me delete the files.


There is a process (VBCSCompiler.exe) in Windows Task Manager to every solution you have started it. to delete the solution directory you have to kill this process (VBCSCompiler.exe) then delete the directory.


Try to exit from Visual Studio first
