I want to create folder 't2', but MATLAB throws a warning that 'Directory already exists', although the folder does NOT exist. What is the problem and how to solve it?
>> cd
C:\Users\User2\Desktop
>> exist('t2', 'dir')
ans =
0
>> mkdir('C:\User\User2\Desktop\t2')
Warning: Directory already exists.
>> exist('t2', 'dir')
ans =
0

My silly mistake was there were two folders, one 'Users' and the other 'User'! Thanks!

Dang, I specifically looked for that kind of problem and still managed to overlook it!
