Subject: How to remove a corrupted dir in an ext4 FS?

After a corruption in an ext4 filesystem, I've checked and moved to the 
correct position all the files and dirs in lost+found, but one of the dirs is 
corrupted.

The "ls -l" command says:
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? /lost+found/#90116

If I try to remove it with "rmdir" or "rm -rf" or "mv" or "unlink", all 
commands say:
<command used>: failed to remove `#90116': Input/output error

Running "fsck" says that the filesystem is OK.

Is there a way to remove that corrupted dir?
