This page contains some solutions to situations we've encountered during the life of Truxton
Delete Folder Structure
When expanding PST files, sometimes folders can be left behind. Usually, they will contain filenames that Windows thinks doesn't exist. To delete the folder, use the "escaped" name which tells Windows to not think too hard when interpreting the filename.
rmdir /s /q \\?\H:\Trux\Truxton\55E3AF7109F30CA7
Deleting Folder Structure 2
Sometimes, when expanding archives, folder ownership will be reset. To delete them, you must first take ownership and reset the security.
takeown /a /r /d Y /f D:\Temp
icacls D:\Temp /t /grant administrators:F
rmdir /S /Q D:\Temp
mkdir D:\Temp
