Use dir /x to get the 8.3 filename and then use it to delete them.

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of rm.exe? I had a public FTP server for the benefit of a few clients, and someone from the 'net has created hundreds of sub-directories under a bunch of directory names such as "com1", "com2", "aux" and various other reserves names - many directories have no names at all. They cannot be deleted from Win2K GUI. They have then dumped 20GB+ of warez, MP3 files etc.. into these directories, presumably with the idea of promoting it as a public respository. This is apparently very common, and the moral is not to run an anonymous FTP server! MS have some info here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q120716 The delete and rd commands from the command prompt do not work. In addition to rm.exe, anyone know of any other way of zapping these directories? Thanks.
