Can't Delete Large Files

["kubota2550@xxxxxxxxx" <kubota2550@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm running Zoneminder video surveillance on Fedora 8.  I had something
happen to cause some database corruption.  I then started getting
hundreds of zero size files being dumped into the events directory.

I've
cleaned up everything except now I can't delete the large directories. 
I have 6 directories totaling 180 GB of space.  I've tried rm -rf to
the directories and the system literally hangs for days and the
directories still aren't deleted.

How can I delete the huge directories and underlying files?  Running ext3.
