Adding Folders That End In .M

[sveakul]

Using the following command on a command prompt (admin may be necessary) to delete folders ending with a dot :

      rd "\\?\drive:\folder\folder_ending_with_a_dot." /S /Q

KangNi:  wish I had this a couple of years back for the same but non-MB related issue!  Cool, and thanks.  Command line rocks when you need it.

This is not really about 'how to remove locked files'.
You can easily remove the file ending with a dot with the same software that created it, namely MusicBee...

The issue is that MusicBee will create a file ending with a dot, which by Windows is an illegal action.
And it looks like that is the cause of the bug that the OP reported here.

Can someone explain to me how they got MB to create a folder ending with a dot?
There is code in the file organisation to remove the ending "." and thats what it did for me

edit:
ok, if i manually create a folder in MB and end it with "." then MB doesnt block that. Thats fixed for the next update
