How do i do it? Thrue Windows Im not able to see the folders. When i dir dos Im able do see it but not able to delete it.
 
In the control panel, open folders and change the view so you can see hidden and system folders and files.
 
Sorry I cant see any folders in the fontfolder. I tried what you tol me to but it dosent work.
 
Windows probably wont show you the folders because there is a control tied to the folder that makes explorer show you details about the fonts rather than viewing them as files. Try the ATTRIB command in the dos window and see what the attibutes are set to. You may need to remove hidden, system, or read-only attributes before dos will let you delete it. If you are getting an error message from dos when you try to delete it, what does that message tell you?
 
there is no error massage. After i del, I dir and the folder is still there, even if it si empty.
