You need the sectors editor DISKVIEW. Once your wrong disk is selected, select
"Dir", and find out what is the starting cluster of your worng subdirectory.
Then select "FAT" and go to that cluster number; surely you will find
that it points to itself, or something like this. Put this FAT entry to
0, and then enter again to "Dir" and erase the subdirectory entry.
Now the subdirectory should have disappeared, but its contents still on
the disk in the form of lost clusters. Just execute CHKDSK to remove
them and all is done.
