why open the folder - just delete it.
If it deletes... format - easy.

Dont reformat. It can only be deleted properly in safe mode. Press F8 before the WinXP screen comes up.

In control panel click on the system icon. when the system properties window opens you will see system restore tab. in the system restore tab tick where it says turn off system restore on all drives.
