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.
