(erase beyond recovery) However I did enable shares on the folder first (earlier poster suggested this changed security properties). Hope this helps someone?

I have been to the Microsoft OneCare Forum regarding this issue and they give the user friendly way of changing the security settings. Unfortunately, I am using Windows XP Home that does not have the security tab available. That is why I am in need of the Command prompt method instead. Again, please provide the command prompt line for me to enable the protection or turn it on again. Thanks! Let me add to my last comment I posted.

Thanks Todd! It worked for me! I deleted a portion (a specific user name folder in my backup). Now, I have a question. How do you enable this "specially protected file " again. What is the CMD line that I will need to enter? I am guessing it has something to do with switching out one or both the letters of /t &/g for other letter(s). Please reply with the inverse.

It would just kick up the help for the command. By enabling file sharing and sharing the backup folder, it changed security properties and allowed me to delete it. Don't forget to disable file sharing again after. the CACLS cmd did not work for me. It would just kick up the help for the command.
