 Access Denied When Deleting a File Minimize

After moving user home directories to a new server I proceeded to delete the old files on a Windows 2000 Server.  However, one file with an FRM extension (VB Form) would not delete.

The general tab under properties is the ONLY tab that existed for the file and the file size on the general tab didn't match what Windows Explorer displayed.

I could not delete the file or folder through the command prompt or explorer.  I could not rename, move, or recycle the file.  The file was not in use. Also, I ran checkdisk against the drive (with the reboot option), no problems.
 

I finally found the solution at Microsoft.com; the command:

RD \\.\drive letter:\path\directory
