That's why I mentioned to be careful using the dos prompt. The problem you're experiencing is that dos uses only 8+3 character file names. This folder obviously has more than 8 characters. Therefore dos truncates (shortens) the file name. You can try typing "dir *.*" to find out what all the folder names are. If I were there I could delete the folder, but without a good knowldge of DOS you could create more problems than it's worth.

IF you're inside the folder you want to delete type "del *.*" That will remove all the files in that folder DO NOT type this in the C: (root) directory. IF you do you'll delete all the files on your hard drive.
