first of all, change in CSE settings backup path to be outside of "srv" folder,
prevent backup tree from getting even bigger with each backup task

used cygwin
 rm -f -r "E:\CSE\backup\srv"
 rm -f -d -r "C:\CSE\backup"
and done, "access denied" ignored, folder deleted

the same cygwin way works in case of short filename ends on dot (NTFS cannot find this file)
