yoursurrogategod Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hi all. I'm not 100% sure where to post this best (it's not IIS related), but here goes. Basically, after installing cygwin I had the directory called aux being created. The problem is that this is a protected file name. Now, because I have this directory, I can't delete it (or even view the contents of the directory since it says that I need permissions from my account... which I am logged in as). Is there a way in Windows 7 to simply mark that piece of storage as "You know, just forget that this ever existed and over-write the contents as you see fit"?

requinix Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Have you tried deleting it in Cygwin? Otherwise, relevant KB article.

I already deleted Cygwin, but the article that you noted did work. Thanks!
