Folder Delete

$

I have a folder which I cannot delete. The folder is "Ships-Miscellaneous-Ships-Miscellaneous." Why it became repetitiious I do not know. This folder is found in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Smile\Steams. This is the former Webshots facility. Originally I had four .jpg pictures in this folder but I decided to create a new folder for these pictures. All went well with the transfer of the four pictures to the new folder but I am unable to delete the original folder (Ships-Miscelleous......) eventhough its Properties indicates zero data.

When I try to delete this folder,the following error message apears:
"Error deleting file or folder. Cannot delete file: cannot read from source file or disk."

This is causing a problem with my backups as the backup stops at the old folder name and also prevents me from deleting previous backup data. I have a PC-OS Windows XP Professional SP3.

Any help you can give me to solve this problem will certainly be most appreciated. Thanks Much.
