There seems to be either a bug, or a weird "feature" when you try to delete an empty folder in the file-browser, and it says it "can’t."
It doesn’t give an explanation, it just says it can’t. This isn’t always the case, but it seems to be related to PS having some sort of file lock on the directory. This is apparent because you can’t delete it using the standard windows explorer either. Even rmdir in the shell can’t remove it.

The lock on the directory seems to be spurious; if you work on other directories and come back to it later, the remove works just fine.

When the PS team figures out what little glitch is causing this, can I also request two other "features"?

* Add ability to remove the directory, even if things are in it. (obviously, prompt, etc…) * Add the ability to MOVE directories using the same drag-n-drop that you can already use on files within directories.

It would also be quite nice if I could see the SIZE of directories in Mbytes
