Help - Cannot delete a folder

[Brian Yennie]

Bummer... I guess the "." and ".." are artifacts of a dual Classic /  
OS X situation? Or maybe it's just a MetaCard thing.

In any case, the only other alternative I can think of would be to use  
AppleScript. I'm not an expert there, but undoubtedly there is a  
delete folder function.
