Ahhh....   That one's easy!

Just use SET FILE/NODIRECTORY to wipe out the bit in the file
header saying it's a directory.  You can then just delete the
file as you would delete any other file, regardless of what the
file contains.

You probably want to to an ANALYZE/DISK/REPAIR afterwards to find
any lost files that may have existed in the directory before it
got corrupted.  They will end up in a directory called [SYSLOST]
after analyze is done.
