[cannot delete folders created via FTP]

You must be logged on locally to the Windows-based computer to delete these files.

If the file was created on a file allocation table (FAT) partition, you may be able to delete the file under MS-DOS by using standard command line utilities (such as DEL) with wildcard (*) characters, for example:

DEL PR?.*

-or-

DEL LPT?.*

These commands do not work on an NTFS file system partition. For this case another option would be to use a syntax that bypasses the normal reserved-word checks altogether. You may be able to delete any file by using a command like this:

DEL \\.\drive letter:\path\file name

For example:

DEL \\.\c:\somedir\aux

If the name in the file system appears as a directory, you may be able to delete any directory by using a command like this:

RD \\.\drive letter:\path\directory name

For example:

RD \\.\c:\somedir\aux
