Cannot Delete A Folder

Hi,
On ripping a CD using Musicmatch the program has created a folder that I
cannot delete. I presume it is because the folder name includes 2 full stops
at the end. I have tried deleting in Safe Mode and I've tried all of the
Command Prompts but none have worked. The response is usually words to the
affect that Windows does not recognise the filepath. Does anyone have any
more ideas?
I am using Windows XP SP2 and the path is C:\Documents and Settings\Tony\My
Documents\My Music\ANNE PIGALLE\everything could be so perfect..
Thanks,
Tony
 
Thanks for the reply. Neither worked. There's no file, it's the folder that's
the problem.
 
None of these will work either.
