Can't delete update directories on data drive

Windows is creating new folders of the form:

D:\f7092b6df34fa531d3a0f8168ba51de5

These seem to be update folders, and they are being put on my data drive.
The problem is that I cannot delete them. I receive an error:

Destination Folder Access Denied - you need permission to perform this
action (Try Again | Cancel)

I am administrator on this machine, and UAC is turned off.

What am I doing wrong?
