I have a server running win2K which got the FTP service
hacked. Luckly I caught it and closed the hole but I'm
left with a series of nested folders under my wwwroot
directory that I cannot delete. In Windows Explorer the
wwwroot has a folder with no name that I cannot rename or
remove.

Any help to get rid of this would be greatly appreciated.
 
Found my own answer to this. Not elegant but it works.

I had to move the valid data to another folder on the
drive. Then in the command prompt used the RD command
with the /S to remove the visible root folder under the
wwwroot. This removed the valid folder and everything
including the blank directories below it.

Then created a new site folder under the wwwroot and moved
the valid folders and files back into place.

What a pain.......
