Windows 7 claims a folder exists already but I cannot find it. I need to delete it. How do I "see" a folder that doesn't exist?
First off, I have enabled the option to view hidden folders and files.
Second, I am running Windows 7 RC build.
Why would windows think I have a folder called "My Music" in "My Documents" if there isn't one there?
In the image below I am trying to make a folder called "My Music". you can see the resulting action in the picture.

There is probably an entry in the registry called My Music. I wouldn't mess with the registry if you don't know what you are doing, but I am going to guess you know what your doing since you are testing out the Windows 7 RC (Start>Run>regedit)
Check here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
There is a REG_SZ value called My Music.
Solution found from source below, it says XP, but I would still try this solution.
"You might want to create a new folder in the proper place, but call it something else, perhaps just "Music", then modify the registry location under the Shell Folders subkey to use this modified name. Then, if you want still to call the folder "My Music", you can try renaming it and if necessary modifying the registry value."
