I've managed (due to user error!) to create a bit of a problem in my Dfs
namespace. Things are woking fine, but I have a folder left in my
DfsRoot share that I'm unable to get rid of.
Specifically, the folder I'm having trouble with is called
"DfsRoot\Data Archive_NTFRS_1010394f"
This is obviously an FRS morphed folder; I think it was created because
I had originally enabled replication on my DfsRoot as well as on the
link folders. I've now corrected that, but I'm unable to remove this
folder.
I think the problem is that this is a junction-point rather than a real
folder. Symptoms I see are that I'm unable to rename the folder or do
anything else with it; I'm unable to view of set permissions or
ownership - presumably because these attributes don't exist on junction
points.
So, how do I get rid of it? Any ideas?
I've looked at Q328492 - but this is no good because I can't rename or
delete the folder. I've tried ntfrsutl, no helpful options there. I've
tried Ultrasound to see if that would come up with any advice.
All help gratefully received - thanks!

Further info:
I have Dfs running on two Windows 2003 machines with FRS replicating a
number of shares (domain based root).
The root share is at G:\DfsRoot
Shares being made available through Dfs (and included in replication)
include:
G:\Install
G:\Music
G:\Pictures
G:\Data Archive
G:\Download
My DfsRoot folder structure looks like this:
DfsRoot
|
|-Data Archive
|
|-Data Archive_NTFRS_1010394f
|
|-DO_NOT_REMOVE_NtFrs_PreInstall
|
|-Download
|
|-Install
|
|-Music
|
|-Pictures
Hope this helps, let me know if any further information is needed.
