    Ok I have this folder on my desktop and I can't delete it. I have tried going into safe mode and deleting it that didn't work I have taken ownership over the folder and I still cannot delete it. The error I get when I attempt to delete it is:

    Cannot delete .unwise : Cannot find the specified file.
    Make sure you specify the correct path and file name.

    I have gone int my task manager and made sure no other programs where using it but I still can't get rid of it. If someone could help me I would appreaciate it. Thanks.

    Unwise is a program to capture, print or save the current window.
    You probably can't remove it because the program is running and using it.
    One thing you might want to do is scan for adware or spyware That file is also associated some adware programs.

    Ok well I scanned my computer with Ad-Aware and Spybot and I got rid of the things they found and I restarted my computer but the folder is still there and I still get the same error when trying to delete it.
