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.
