Hi Sam, There's an old tool from the Windows NT Resource Kit that will do it. It's one of the POSIX utilities called RM.EXE, and will use the 8.3 name for the folder to delete it when you can't via Windows Explorer or standard shell commands.
You can get the 8.3 folder name via dir /x and then use the RM tool like this rm -r C1C3~1 where C1C3~1 is the 8.3 name for the directory to be deleted. Contact me off-list if you can't get the RM.EXE file and I'll send it to you.

I managed to create a directory structure too deep for Windows 2K Server to handle, I need to figure out how to delete it, I had a batch file go haywire and well, I can see the folders but its too deep a structure for Windows to handle and it won't let me delete anything... Any suggestions?
