non-deletable folders
a hacker got into my web server through anamous ftp access and set up a bunch of folders that I now can't remove. Any thoughts on how to get rid of them?



thanks

You should be able to delete them if you are logged in as root...

If it's got a very cryptic name (i.e. with spaces or other shell meta chars), it often helps to press tab to tab complete the name and your shell will escape the name properly.
