Try M-BS. A word, in Find File context is usually a dir, but now always.
-- HASM
M-BS runs `backward-kill-word'
`backward-kill-word' is an interactive compiled Lisp function
-- loaded from "/builddir/build/BUILD/xemacs-21.4.19/lisp/simple.elc"
(backward-kill-word &optional COUNT)
Documentation:
Kill characters backward until encountering the end of a word.
With argument, do this that many times.
