Kaya complication hi....
 One cannot delete folder if there is a file under folder and that file is in use. File can be hidden, read only or both. It could be that file is flagged as system file. First, view all the files in directory, make sure you can view system and hidden files. Now, see if the file is being used. See if it's in task manager, running as a process. Kill that process. If it's a DLL or associate file, kill the main application/process then delete it. Deewani has suggested safe mode that is excellent way of making sure not all applications are loaded when you boot - Just another gummy bear fan
