First let me say that I know nothing about DOS, after doing some research I 
got to start > run > cmd and I got into my E drive from there I'm stuck. I 
can't seem to get into the folder to delete the files, I've tried to delete 
the folder but it keeps saying something about incorrect syntax error and 
I'm stuck again.
When I try e:\del iceage I get:

e:\iceage\filename which is strange letters and symbols
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Gosh, I hope this helps but I don't know what I'm doing and I'm afraid I 
will delete everything off the drive if I try to pick my way thru this.
