Try "rd /q /s <parentdir>" where parentdir is the name of the directory above the files?

Tried everything I can think of, including going to the command line. Nada. I'm not a big server guy, so I don't know all the tricks here. Can anyone point me in the right direction to clean these folders off my drive? Aside from reformatting. :) Thanks in advance, --Scott ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
