Cannot delete file: Error Msg

[piggy2151]

Recently my ftp server was hacked into and now I have many subfolders created into the main folder, I try to delete the main folder but i am getting the error mesage Cannot delete file: cannot read from source file or disk. I try to do a delete from dos command, but it doesn't seems to work. Even trying taking ownership of the folders, but doesn't seems to work also? Can anyone advise? Thanks

Any idea whether this directory is being indexed? If so turn the indexing service off.

Otherwise you may have to delete the files manually. Go into dos and using DIR /x and then delete the files using 8.3 format.
