Try using the good old command prompt as administrator (Start->Run->Cmd).
One command that will be usefull is dir /x which will show you the name of the folders and files in 8.3 format. Then del and rmdir.

I have a small server I use for my home business and use it mainly for
anyone who needs to send a large file that will not go through email.  I
have an anonymous UPLOAD FTP account that I open up to receive these.  From
time to time I forget and leave this open (I know this is stupid but I
thought I could just erase anything that was put there because the small
drive would fill up real soon).  However, I see someone has hacked into my
server and put a bunch of trash that I cannot delete because when I try to
delete it, Windows 2K says "cannot find the specified file".   I have spent
2 days researching this and cannot find any reference of how to correct
this.   I did find some reference to looking at the security tab for these
files but the security tab is missing!  I found some tools which are
supposed to set owners for files and they don't work on these files.   Here
is the log from where the hacker attacked below.  Any help would be
appreciated.  I don't want to have to rebuild my server if possible:
