yes and no. yes because i did try to access the memory from my pc and it is still read only. even when i change the attributes in windows xp it is read only. it allows me to change the attribute but when i try and do anything with it while sitll in windows it gives the read only error.
and I say no because the folder/files are all on the internal 32 GB memory of my phone. my memory card seems to be working find i just wanna get this folder off of my internal memory
I'm not sure if there are tools out there to fix broken FAT file systems (like fsck for ext2/ext3) but perhaps you can find something. Until that time, I'd recommend that you backup all the important data that you've saved under /home/user/MyDocs and live with that extra directory and whatever is stored in it.
Try to prune away everything else that's not stored in the hard-to-remove directories under "Dads\ files" to at least free that space up again.

I also had this problem. I think that I found out that some silly trick can be used to remove the read only protection - I think it was either moving or renaming the directory in question. Give it a try.

Windows should know how to fix a corrupted file system during a check. Put the N900 into storage mode, then try to run chkdsk or how it is called in windows 
.
There should be an option to repair or fix things.

you could try putting mem card in pc using a card reader adaptor, back up everything you want to keep,
then format the mem card and put your data back on the card
then format the mem card and put your data back on the card
