Does anyone have any idea how I could possibly prevent a
user from deleting a subfolder and still allow them to
delete files within the same folder as the subfolder
 
You can do that with special permissions in ntfs. Start out with giving them
read/list/execute/write permissions on the main security page which will
apply to folders/subfolders/files. Then go into the advanced page and add
the group/user again and a window will pop up. Select "files only" and check
everything but the last two permissions which are take ownership and change
permissions and then hit OK. Keep in mind that if the owner/creator group
has permissions that a user creating a folder/file will also get the
permissions for creator/owner in which case you may need to modify
permissions for it or remove it. --- Steve
