So the problem I had was, a folder named "P.O.D. " Notice the space at the end of
the directory. Explorere was being stubborn and not letting me rename becuase it
didnt know what to clasify this entry as.
dir /x /p /w
gave me the Old School dos short name
POD~1
F:\>del POD~1 (removed all the sub-directories)
F:\POD~1\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? y
F:\>rd POD~1 (removed the directory it's self)
F:\>
Thanks to the person who posted the last entry :-D
