I have just received an e-mail which has fixed this problem use dir /X to get the 8.3 folder name then RD /S and path\8.3 foldername It would not work over a network 'mapped drive', I got 'access denied'. Tried it on the machine with the problem folder and it worked like a charm. Thanks to sarthed.

I have the same problem as 'vcant'. It is a Windows XP machine and the folder is on a RAID drive. I have tried all the 'safe mode' 'command prompt' etc, tried the rmdir /s but none of it works. I would really appreciate any help!!
