Over the pest few days, whenever I empty the recycle bin on an NTsp6a server, I get the error message below:

[tt]
Error Deleting File
Cannot Delete DD0: Access is Denied.
Make sure that the disk in not full or write-protected
and that the file in not currently in use.
[/tt]

DD0 is not a file on my system (that I can find), and there's no indication that it's a resource of any kind that the recycle bin would be trying to delete.

Any ideas why this would happen? I haven't been able to find anything on this error on MS or trough Google.

How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?
 
Can you see files in the Recycle Bin? If not, for starters, I'd ren the error-checking tools.

If you can, I'd put these files in a common folder and work with permissions. I've seen when a user account is deleted, and no one else had access to certain files, including the Admin. In this case, you simply take ownernship of the files and then delete them.

hope this helps,
