1That's...an interesting file path. Have you run `fsck` recently? Seems like a corrupted file. – Nathan C Jun 18 '13 at 11:08

What does SMART say? Do you have any bad sectors? – Cristian Ciupitu Jun 18 '13 at 14:05

It looks like you have a corrupted folder and subfolders. I highly recommend running fsck on the drive and seeing if that either renames the files to something that you can delete or removes the entries entirely.

If the filesystem is verified from fsck, you can use the "-i" flag on rm.
$cd /path/to/directory/
$ rm -i *
rm: cannot remove directory File-Path-2.08
rm: remove File-Path-2.08.tar? n
rm: remove Makefile? y
<etc...>
