I am new to the Pocket PC, having, after about fifteen years, stopped
using Palm because of flaky hardware and brain-dead OS memory management
on current models.

My computer is a Mac, but I have Parallels installed so that I can use
Windows to interface with the iPAQ. I have figured out most of what I
need to know in order to download and operate programs equivalent to the
ones I had on the Palm. However, the built-in "Notes" leave me totally
puzzled.

Under "Notes", there is a list of folders that includes members such as
".trash", "Dictionaries", "My Documents", "My Music", "WMDRM", and
"Templates", the last of which actually has some templates, and two
folders, one named after a program that I downloaded, and the other
named after a program that I downloaded and then deleted. None of the
names of other programs that I have downloaded have appeared in this
folder list.

Now, except for "templates" and a couple of folders that I created, all
the other folders are empty. But, when I try to delete them, a message
appears saying that I can't delete a folder that has content, and that I
should delete the content of the folder.

While these folders are doing no harm, their presence offends my sense
of propriety, and I would love to know how to get rid of them.
