Hi all,

I have a file here which seems to be essentially a subdirectory which has a size of 130 MB and seems to be self-linking. As soon as I try to acess or delete the directory the program doing this hangs. I've tried to
- access the file record
- overwrote the first sector
- overwrote the first sector of the directory containing the file
- I started chkdsk /f and it repaired everything and also reestablished the undeleteable file.

I can move the above directory but I can not delete it.

Any idea how to get rid of this beast?
