And is iTunes running, or the ipod service?

iPodFoo:
Hope you dont mind me putting my 2 cents worth, I know this thread isnt technically  allowed, and llorean might want to remove/move it.

Anyway, fishlover900, it sounds like the pc still has memory of the file/folder in use. Close Explorer and any other programs that might be linked to the file/folder, then terminate the process itunes.exe and ipodservice.exe (Ctrl + Shift + Esc).

Plug in the ipod, make sure the processes mentioned above are NOT loaded.

Open Explorer again, and try deleting the file/folder. Or run the ipod updater, itll overwrite everything anyway.

Good luck.

fishlover900:
Thanks ipodfoo! It worked!!! I can now finally go to bed!

iPodFoo:
No problem. Now you can sleep soundly eh!

By the way, I think the reason why your tracks in itunes dissapeared is because you have the version 1.2 of the Apple firmware. Ideally you need the older 1.1.1 to see everything again in the apple firmware.
