Hi,
Because of a stupid (yes, i know :) setting on my ftp server some people have been using my server as a mirror for their warez. That's not the biggest problem, cause the security flaw is fixed now.
BUT, they made some awefull looking directories wich I can't delete. The error message is : "Cannot delete file : cannot read from the source file or disk"

Problem solved! Thanks for the private reply!
To be helpfull, here is how it's done:
1. Go to CMD (command line) 2. Go to the directory wich has to be deleted 3. Know the "real name" of the direcory by typing dir /x (as example the dir is FILESF~1) 4. Type : rd /s files~1 done.
Again, thanks!
