Adrian, I've had this happen a couple of times. First off you will need to shut down IIS. Then use explorer to dig down to the directories with the files and delete them. then delete any directory that you can. then use the rd /s command on the first good directory name. then restart IIS.

Thanks everyone. Still no go so far having tried both DEL and RD and also RM from the command line. The files are not recognised. I did a dir /x and it did retun file and directory names, but I don't think they are complete - for example, one blank directory returned: 0200~1, and they all have a tilde ~ in the names. Any more suggestions would be much appreciated, i don't feel comfortable having 20 gigs of garbage I can't delete sitting on my server. Thanks again.
