Hi,

I have a folder on my external hard drive which cannot be deleted. It has absolutely nothing in it (only a hidden file called "tmpcache". I have tried to delete it but it just keeps reappearing. I have also tried in safe mode. I ran a couple of security scans on it and nothing showed up.

I know its nothing major but these kind of things really annoy me. I use the hard drive everyday and it will drive me mad if I can't get rid of it!

What's the name of this "folder"? With a file named tmpcache in it... makes me wonder if it's a file used by some program as some kind of swap file/temp storage or something.
