It works okay on my system.

If the folder is "in use" -- perhaps because some file or folder inside is in use by a program -- it can't be deleted and the command will set ErrorLevel to 1 to indicate the problem.

Thanks, for the fast answer.

I tried the Script on 3 PCs. C:\temp\blabla is not removed. This folder I provided only to the test. It is not used by system. Definitely not.

Works fine here. (Win XP).

Presumably you tried executing that line on its own and not as part of a bigger script?

A folder is considered in-use even if it only has focus in an explorer window. If it is the case, moving the selection away should solve the problem.
