Can't delete folder

When I try to delete a folder in the my music folder of my documents, I get
the error: "The action can't be completed because the folder is open in
another program. Close the folder & try again."
I have tried deleting the folder in safe mode. I have installed the hotfix
from KB 949857. I tried unlocker freeware. I tried deleting the file on the
server. I can't rename it either - "You need permission to perform this
action" (I am the administrator). Can someone help?

Try deleting the contents of the folder first.

If that doesn't work try File Shredder.

With unlocker - delete on reboot .
