Are you using a user account to access the DNS or the admin account of the DNS? Try using the admin account and see if you can remove the folders.

Can you remove the folder using a Windows Explorer window?

Am I missing something again?

OP states whilst using SAMBA they cannot delete folders.  SAMBA is network protocol allowing file/printer sharing.

Could it be that SAMBA needs administrative permissions to allow folder deletion?

I don't know SAMBA and therefore don't understand why it is used but the basics of it being a "network protocol" for file/printer sharing for me states it's not a "file/folder explorer"

Apologises to everyone if I'm wrong

I asked if he was using the admin account to delete the folder. I some cases the admin account is needed. Still waiting on feed back.

maybe a folder used the the DNS or something. If a new problem appears you, it maybe related.
