Moveable but non-deleteable directory

I have a directory on my Windows 2000 Server NTFS drive which was originally part
of a Photoshop 6 installation. One day last week the machine went down hard, worst
its ever been (which is really bad!) ImageReady was open at the time. First time
that I've ever had chkdsk turn up any problems to fix. When it finally was runable,
photoshop was toast, couldn't reinstall. Looking into it I found an ImageReady directory
in the Plug-Ins dir. Try to look at the contents and the message appears,
"D:\[DIRNAME] is not accessible. The directory name is invalid."
I can rename the directory, I can cut and paste it anywhere on the the drive, but
not move it to another drive and it cannot be deleted by any means known to me, including
rmdir /s from a dos prompt. Chkdsk has no problem with it.
I have been able to move it out of the way of re-installing photoshop, but otherwise
its a phantom 0 size directory that will not go away.
Any Suggestions?
No chance its FTP-Hack related. My limited FTP service is locked down and has been
since I enabled it, plus its behind a firewall, plus this drive is not accessible
to the ftp service anyways. It is definately related to the HARD crash this machine
went through.
