I can imagine how this would result in Windows believing that the entire
volume had nothing to show but I don't see how this command would result
in the data for a single directory being deleted from the file server.
A quota adjustment should not result in the removal of any data.  How
would the file server know what to discard?

I suspect the data is still on the file server and it just needs a new
quota to be set.  Perhaps by using a vos command instead of an fs command.
