If the above is true, you then need to del the old owner ship of the directory will have a long string of mixed characters for name.

Re:I get this problem sometimes, I believe its due to XPs NTFS security features…for some reason it refuses to release the folder for deletion because it thinks a process is still using it.
Make sure you don't have any anti-virus, filesharing apps or DOS command windows open etc and retry….failing that reboot and then delete it if you can.
