MS Build Error

I am getting the following error when I try to execute a target in my MS Build file:

error MSB4025: The project file could not be loaded. Name cannot begin with the '"' character, hexadecimal value 0x22. Line 165, position 34.

Here is the offending target:

<Target Name="DeleteVirtualRootFiles">
    <Message Text="Deleting files/directories from $(ClickOnceVirtualRootDir)..."/>
    <Exec Command="del /f /s /q ""$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\$(ClickOnceVirtualRootDir)\*.*"""/>
  </Target>

The line causing the error is the one that begins with the Exce Command.

I have tried several different combinations of quotes and other characters in this line, but I still cannot get the target to execute. None of the folders in the build structure have spaces in their names (although, I still want this to work if they do).

Any ideas?

Thank  You!
