I switch to admin and I still can't delete.
 "Could not find this item"
 "This is no longer located in C:\inetpub."
 "Verify the item's location and try again."

It has nothing to do with rebooting as they've been there over many boots.

It has nothing to do with inetpub because I can create a folder and move
that folder around which contains the items that I can't delete. I can put
it anywhere and it still has the exact same error message (other than the
path of course changes depending on where I put the top-level folder).

I've already descended down to the bottom and deleted anything that would
delete and moved up and deleted and moved up, but this still won't die.

I switch to an admin prompt but it still won't delete.
There's a space at the end of some of the directories.

So the error as admin on the command line is different:
 "The system cannot find the path specified."

What's a super powerful just-delete-the-damn-thing command I can run?
