Hey, how on earth can i delete some files that have stuck themselves onto my desktop?

my issues started when i ran the shell:links command in the start run bar and it moved my music and pictures folders to stupidly long and deep 'loops' of music > links > music > links etc... some going on for 78 folders!

as such, i haven't been able to delete them. i've tried everything i can think of, fan CHKDSK /f /r but everything's fine, tried forcebly deleting them with numerous applications but to no avail, and the final straw now is that i somehow got some on my dektop and they won't budge!
