Files that won't delete

Greetings from the not so balmy southeast...

I'm using SBS2008 - I've two subdirectories that won't let me delete the files.  The files are very old data files that are not longer needed.  The server has gone through one rebuild since its activation where I copied some data (these two subdirectories included) to an external HDD.  Upon the rebuild I copied them back to the server - I suspect that's where my troubles lie.

When I try to delete the files (from the command prompt; run as administrator) I get a 'Access is denied' message.  The files are over 5 years old - no telling what rights/privleges are assigned...

How can I get rid of these pesky bits & bytes?

Thx,

Rick
