HELP.

I started up my Mac this morning, and attempted to access some of the
Tech notes I recently downloaded. These were in a folder on one of my HD
partitions, or a least they were a couple of days ago. The contents of this
folder have now disappeared and attempting to open the folder gives a
File/Folder not found error. This is not too depressing as I can live without
the lost files, however, when I try to trash the now useless folder I am unable
to empty the Trash, I get a "Folder not Empty" error and low and behold the
folder reappears exactly where it came from.

How do I get around this and get rid of the #%@#*&* folder without reformating
the partition?

Please E-mail responses, if/when the problem is solved I will post the
solution.

System : Mac Plus, 2.5 Meg, System 6.03
         Seagate 48.6 Meg external HD, Micronet disk management software.
