Hello, netfolks.

I've been trying to cut down the amount of trash on a hard drive that I bought
used a month or so and have come across, as I said in the Subject: line, some
undeletable directories.

The directories in question aren't referenced by any paths or assignments and
any effort on my part are to no avail.

Is there some PD utility that I can use to scan across a hard drive (or any
disk, for that matter) and have it verify the file structure?  I don't really
trust DiskDoctor and don't know if it works on a Hard Drive.

Can anybody help me?  I'm really at my wits' end.
