Default "del /s foo*" doesn't work

You're right it shouldn't be necessary but did you try it? Vista is still a
beta and may have bugs. Running an elevated cmd prompt is a valid test to
see if there are some permissions issues or maybe a bug.

Did you try doing this while running the command prompt as
Administrator?

That shouldn't be necessary, since the logged-in user owns the files
and folders in question.
