You're welcome.
Hmm, so, if I'm properly reading this, the folder tree is actually a pointer
to folders that no longer exist on the server. You still might be able to
do this from a command prompt either under Vista or from the boot menu or
possibly delete the files in Safe Mode.
If this folder and sub-folders are phantoms, you might simply be able to
remove them by rebooting or even just refreshing your view...you probably
tried refreshing the view, didn't you?
Any chance of putting the folders back on the server and seeing if you can
then delete these from your hard drive?
Sorry, now I'm just throwing stuff out to see what sticks! If it’s a cache
issue, I don't know what temp folder in might be using but you might try
turning off all the hidden folders and then running a search on all the temp
folders on the system but I have a feeling this is hidden and cannot be
accessed.
