Default Cannot Delete Directories

Hi All.

Ok, here is what is happening:

I logged into my server root folder. I had done a website for a client in a sub folder of my site.
Ex. www.mydomain.com/client/

In that "Client" folder I have 2 sub folders - (images & includes)

When I tried to delete the "Client" folder it deleted all of the files in all the folders but wouldn't delete the folders/sub folders themselves. Just left me with a directory with 2 empty sub folders.

I was able to delete the sub folders first then the main directory after that. So I was able to delete the directory in the end, just took me a minute longer. I would really like to be able to delete everything by just deleting the main directory/folder.

I searched the forums for the answer but found nothing. I think I remember something about leaving empty directories in the options somewhere, but I cannot find anything that will let me delete an entire directory with subfolders and files.

My site is on an NT4 server running IIS4. The server is setup well, but the software is old, I Know. But this is the only problem that I have to report.

Can someone please clue me in on how to be able to delete a folder/directory that has files and sub folders in it by just deleting the main directory.

Thanks!
