I have a empty folder by the name dev that was somehow created on my Windows7 laptop.It contains a file by the name nul.It has size 0 Bytes and both the folder and the file are hidden and read-only.I would like to know if there is some way by which I can delete the folder and the file.

How do you know that it has a file called nul? What did you do to determine this? My educated guess is that if there truly is such a file, it's actually named null. Moreover, what deletion methods have you actually tried? – JdeBP Jan 20 at 12:34

You can use a freeware called as unlocker to delete undeletable files.

Download Unlocker for Windows here.
