Yeah, I am not saying it is a risk now, I would just not like the fact it has been abused :-p

I wouldn't. I'm quite familiar with how anonymous FTP servers get abused. But, as long as your FTP server root directory is separate from other stuff (which it is by default), and you don't actually run any of the stuff that was uploaded, reformatting the disk is unnecessary. Your FTP server wasn't hacked, it was used by someone running an FTP client. The fact that they made it hard to delete directories is a wacky problem of the Windows shell, that's all.
