    See if Chkdsk can find a problem with your file system:

    Try My Computer>Right-click C: drive>Properties>Tools tab>Check disc for errors>Mark both boxes>Say yes, when prompted to schedule for next reboot>Reboot.

    Hi

    Whats location path of the folder than needs deleting and are you also logged on as admin?

    Have you tried to delete in Safe Mode (F8 at boot)?



    Try these and try them in both normal and safe mode

    boot up a live linux cd and delete it - while your at it dump everything in the prefetch folder and restart.
