Windows

I have been using git on windows-msysgit. Whenever I try to remove a repository completely either using explorer or using

$ git rm -rf ptp/
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

it errors out "The data present in the reparse point buffer is invalid" or the fatal error above.

What's wrong with me/git?

Thanks in advance
