Disk space held hostage by ftp pirates

[Pete Blaisdell]

Sometime ago I made the mistake of allowing anonymous ftp
access on a Windows 2000 server which quickly filled with
bootleg videos, games, and porn. This problem has been
fixed but the pirates left behind several files I can't
delete. I get the following errors when I try to delete
them.

Error deleting file or folder
Cannot delete aux.tagged: The parameter is incorrect.

I've tried taking ownership, changing permissions,
deleting in safe mode, command line.

Any suggestions?

Hi Pete,

When deleting it in command line mode, are you placing
quotation signs around the file?

i.e. del "aux.tagged"

And perhaps check the attribs on the command line for the
file(s) in question.

Just some ideas.
