Cannot delete folder

I recently created a folder, "2006" using Explore. Something went wrong, and
now I cannot put anything in that folder, nor delete it, nor move it, nor
drag and drop it to the recycle bin.
Worst of all, when I try to back up my data, the "copy" trips up at that
point, says it cannot copy this folder, and stops. So nothing beyond that
point gets copied.
I'm using Windows Media Edition 2005.
Thanks,
