NTFS Directory Structure Problem

[Someone With Problem]

Once I used a programm for organizing mp3s. This program
created a directory with subdirectories according the
artist name:
- Music
[Marc Anthony & Tina Arena ]
[Michael Semballo ]
[Mono ]

and others... I put the brackets to see that the
subdirectories names have following spaces! I don't know
how the program mannaged to do this, but I CAN NOT erase
them.
When i try to erase them through the Windows Explorer it
says:
"Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or
disk".
When i try to erase them through cmd using "rd" command
it says:
"The system cannot find the file specified."

I tried chkdsk but it finds no errors! This folders are
workable, i mean that you can write files in them delete,
or create subfolders but i can't erase the folders
themselfs.

The problem is enough strange for not finding an answer
in the web. If anyone can help, please do it

Have you tried booting up in "Safe" mode and then delete the unwanted
folders?

Try to rename the directories. Highlight the directory (click once on
it) and then press F2. You may be able to remove the trailing spaces.
