I use the C/C++ SDK eclipse to program for one of my classes, and while attempting to import an existing project into my workspace, a bug ran wild and started creating a new project directory inside a new project directory inside a new project directory and etc for an indefinite amount of directories to the point that Windows cannot delete them because the full path exceeds Windows' limitations.
I know that CCleaner can be set to include certain folders for deletion, but this seems to only clear out the files and not the folders. Is it possible to set CC to knock out all of those directories? I've tried other file purging software but they failed miserably.
Thanks for any help.

So all i needed to do was boot into my Ubuntu LIVE CD and delete it from its handy LIVE desktop. Outstanding. If only i wasn't tied down to Windows with my PC gaming.
Though for future reference, it would be nice to know if CCleaner is capable of such a task.
