Hi, Ricardo.
From the "DOS" window, in the E:\WebSites\bad2\a\a\b directory, type:
rd 20223~1 /s
If that doesn't work, tell us what it says.
You might also try, from the E:\WebSites\bad2\a\a directory:
rd b /s
Make sure, of course, that you've moved or otherwise preserved any useful
files and subdirectories in *\a\a\b first.
Caveat: I don't know anything about servers or permissions or cacls. :>(
