Problem deleting a Folder

Hi there, i am fairly new to Plone/Zope and run into some problems.
We got an old Folder with many files and moved the content to a new folder because of some other Problem regarding deleting old Files/Articles.
Now i got the problem that i cant delete the original folder. i guess it is because of the original problem where we wasnt able to delete a specific article/file.
i inherited the whole system and are pretty new to the whole thing so please have mercy :wink:

The Error it creates is as follows:
Traceback (innermost last):

I have wasted 10 minutes more of my life searching what is your Plone version. I believe that it is a Plone 3 install about which I know less than nothing. I can't help you but I have a link for you:

it's not exactly your problem but it could give you some ideas about getting rid of annoying objects. Always try this stuff with good backups. A better idea would be to search for a pro that could transfer your data to a new database on hopefully a supported version, but it would cost you serious money. Good luck anyway.
