Please help, i have a Webserver that cant be shutdown!!

there is a folder that needs deleting but trying brings back (Access is Denied - may be in use or permissions etc..)

the properties show it to be 0bytes in size and there are only General and Customize tabs??

trying to do anything (delete, move, rename etc) all result in (access denied)

I have tried doing from Dos as well
tried stopping explorer and removing from Dos
tried holding down shift whilst deleting


any ideas??
maybe some brute force file remover program??

thanks
 
DAMN IT!! although i am a Domain Administrator, my boss must have made it so i cant install anything on this server
(he has gone away on holls today too)

anything else i can try without a program?
 
thanks for the help...

couldnt call boss as he was uncontactable...

running that program without install also didnt work, so good for being a domain administrator yet denied everything on all the servers anyway!

all sorted, i made the web guys work round the Cache folder and it seemed to disapear over night?!?

thanks again :D
