The question is how to delete a folder whose extension has
three
dots. When the individual tried to delete it, he got the file
is in
use box.


Almost certainly, the extension is *not* three dots. You're just
seeing part of the name, and the three dots is an ellipsis,
telling you there is more. Using My Computer or Windows Explorer,
navigate to the folder containing the file. Then move your mouse
to the line above the list of files, the line that contains the
headings like "Name," "File Type," and "Date Created."

Put your mouse cursor on the divider line that separates the
"Name" heading from the heading to its right and drag that bar to
the right. That will expand the size of the name field and permit
you to see the full name.

If he was unable to delete it, it was probably simply that the
file was in use.
