We had a similar problem with one of our customers. Usually they will make a folder COM1 or LPT or something that M$ still hasn't let go from DOS If you are lucky it will be inside another folder. Cuz im sure as you have probably already tried you can't delete a folder called COM1
So what ya do is go to a DOS prompt change to the directory below the containing folder (if the goods are in c:\Folder1\Folder2\COM1 go to d:\Folder1) Then do a rmdir folder2 -s or rmdir \folder2 -s (one of the 2, or the fill path should work as well) This will erase everything in the specifyied folder including the "undeleteable" folders.
