I have tried everything I can think of and find to download to delete
several invalid folders/files from my ftproot folder that some hackers put
there a couple years ago. The folders have leading and trailing spaces,
invalid characters (sentences the hackers were writing back and forth to
each other), etc in their names, and nothing I can find can delete them.
There are 30 fragments listed by the disk defragmenter involving those
folders, and I cannot travel into the folders to see if there is actually a
file somewhere down at the bottom nor even read the entire name of the path
structure since it is wider than the page that disk defrag can print out.
These files/folders/fragments are eating up about 5GB of space on my main
drive. I have tried all the usual DOS type commands in safe mode command
prompt - using the 8.3 name as well as the others; I have tried a couple
delete programs that are made for invalid file names but when they run, a
black dos box comes up and I can see it say the directories are not empty
before it flashes away again.
Does anyone have anything to run to delete these short of fdisking the whole
thing and starting over? This is Windows Server 2000 with NTFS structure.
Some of the folders have "\Inetpub\ftproot\T A G G E D by Erick", "ok", and
just
"\Inetpub\ftproot\T A G G E D" and such in them, while others have sentences
of stuff such as
"\Inetpub\ftproot\ \*uck you delecter \you are so stupid\you want to play
with\......" and such in their structure.
I can see the first part of these folders in all sorts of programs, but if I
try to enter them I get various errors - mostly about access denied (and I
am logged in as administrator). Thanks for any help!
