Weird question about magnet links

So I started downloading some music using a magnet link I decided after the file started downloading that I no longer wanted to download the music.  Anyway, I just tried to delete the folder that was set up for the downloaded music and only some of the files were actually deleted.  Each time I try to delete the folder it gives me the whole spiel and asks "Are you sure you want to permanently delete these files blah blah.." and it lets me click yes but the folder never goes away.  I'm convinced that this has something to do with the magnet link but that's only because I can't come up with anything else.  Has anyone experienced this before and did they find a solution?  As more background, the folder was being saved on an external HD and I am able to add and delete other files without a problem.  Thanks.

But, I don't think our fans do happily lap it up, I think they go online and talk about how it was a bad show.

You haven't lived until you've had a robot shart in your ear and followed along in the live setlist thread while it happens.

Well I ran chkdsk and afterwards I was able to delete the file.  Thanks for the ICP related joke ... you would be surprised at how many people do NOT crack that one when someone asks a similar question about magnet links online...  :roll:
