help with deleting a COM1 dir

hia

i was dling something from a pub earlier today

and without noticing, i managed to get a COM1 dir on my comp

ive tried to delete this *¤!"#!"#"! folder in 1000 different ways, but it still doesnt work

i don't use Win2k but you probably need DOS to delete this dir...try pressing "F8" right before windows is starting and select DOS, then type in

code:
cd \blablaba\blalba\asd\
deltree COM1

but that's for win95 and 98...if this "F8" thing doesn't work, make a bootable disk, re-boot and type in

code:
c:
cd \blablaba\blalba\asd\
deltree COM1

this should work if you are using FAT32...

code:c:
cd \blablaba\blalba\asd\
del COM1 --> "the filename, directory name, or volume syntax label is incorrect"

code:
c:
cd \blablaba\blalba\asd\
deltree COM1 --> "'deltree' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

damn.. i hate this dir!

the one and only way that always works for me when i cant delete certain annoying folders or files is to restart my computer in the safe mode. works like a charm
