HI Igor,
Not sure if you found the solution...but your answer is in the DOT Archive and Complaince guide.
Was it a SLE or SLC volume ?
The data that is committed to the WORM state on a SnapLock volume cannot be changed or deleted
before its retention date. However, you can change or delete the empty directories and
files that are not committed to a WORM state. Directories do not behave any differently than they would on regular
volumes, with the exception that they cannot be renamed or moved once created. It is a requirement
for regulatory compliance that WORM data be not only non-erasable and non-rewritable, but it must
also be locked down in the same location at which it was created. In the case of WORM implementation,
this means that the directory path to WORM
files must be locked down and should never change.
In Data ONTAP 7.0 and later, WORM
files can be deleted after their retention dates have been reached.
The retention date on a WORM
file is set when the file is committed to the WORM state, but it can be
extended at any time. The retention period can never be shortened for any WORM
file.

Were you able to delete it as empty directories you should be able to delete it. ??
