I think Knoppix will let you write to an NTFS file system. Try booting a Knoppix live CD and delete the directory using that.

if you open up a command window and shut down explorer in task manager u should be able to maneuver to the dir and remove it then run explorer to get back to the desktop fp At 05:44 PM 2/21/2008, Joe User Poked the stick with: Hello, I have a system that has so many files in a dir the system just hangs for HOURS while I try to do anything in there.
