Hi,
Have you tried deleting them at DOS level, usually works. Restart the server first, this will clear any hung processes which still have hooks into the directory structure. Queueing may be playing up.

Niether of these folders can be renamed or deleted. When you try to rename them the little edit box contains nothing.
