Try CHKDSK I had a corrupt directory that contained itself. CHKDSK was
the only way could remove it. Worth a shot.

Also, if you have emacs, the emacs dired function can delete anything. Just
run M-x dired, place the point on the lines containing the files/directories
you want to purge, type 'd' for each, then type 'x' to expunge the marked
files.
