I'm afraid it's not possible. I receive this error when I try to delete a folder from the file system view: "Cannot delete folder. Folder is not empty or it might contain excluded files, which are not shown"
I have a very deep file structure that I would like to delete, and I would rather not spend an hour deleting it.
Microsoft says that the folders have to be empty to remove them. Random commenter at Hanselman's blog says that it you can't do it.
Can someone tell me otherwise?
