unable to delete recursive folders

I posted a problem on the windows 9* forum regarding a problem I have deleting recursive folders (see http://computing.net/windows95/wwwboard/forum/150303.html). None of the possible solutions offered works, and it has been suggested that someone on the DOS forum may have some ideas about deleting in DOS (I've tried booting to DOS and using DELTREE).
