I was trashing a folder that contained many folders and files. One of the folders would not trash even though all the files inside were gone. It was the last thing that I was using the day yesterday. I decided to use DeskZap to see if there was an invisible open file. It opened up inside the folder. Once I closed it, I could delete it. It seems under Multifinder that the last folder you use with DeskZap does not get closed properly when DeskZap if the DA Handler is closed instead of Quitting from DeskZap. I was using DeskZap 1.2. Does any one know of a more recent version or a fix. I am using and SE/30 with 5meg, 40 meg HD, System 6.0.4.
