Scripting

I have a strange issue.  I have some difficulties with some files located in the C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft directory.  They are supposed to be folders, but show up as files.  I need to get rid of them and create the actual folders and sub-folders within them.  

I am having difficulty performing a folder changes:

1. Renaming or deleting these files

2. Creating folders in their place

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
