Just to make you feel like you are not alone, I had the same problem on
a IIci at work running 7.0.1 Tuned.  I had five folders that I could do
nothing with.  I tried everything, and I mean everything, finally I archived
and backed up everything I needed, reformatted the HD (Using Silverlining-- 
a great formatting utility by the way) and then reinstalled everything.
This wasn't to difficult since all of my problems were on an external drive.

An interesting thing, I could put all of the Hell folders inhte trash, but
the trash wouldn't empty on error -121.  They would only be in the trash
If the bogus drive was mounted.

Your best bet to be rid of your Hell Folder, and faster than waiting for
a better solution, back up your drive, reformat the drive and reinstall
everything.  This will also allow you to reinstall your apps and system
from the master disks, always a nice thing to do every now and then

Good luck, and remember
