Named unknown folder with no contents
I have a folder on my desktop that has no contents.I cannot use the folder to hold any thing. I cannot even delete it.
How can I delete?

To delete the undeletable folder, open Command Prompt as Administrator, go to your desktop with cd %USERPROFILE%\Desktop, then use rmdir /q /s "FolderName" (replace with your folder name). If that fails, try deleting it in Safe Mode or use a tool like Unlocker.
Check the Security tab in the folder properties to confirm whether the current user has access permissions, or use a third-party tool to take ownership before viewing the contents.
