Problem solved .
(don't do this unless you want to get rid of windows)
Don't you have anything else to say? Are you going to post this answer for all posts???!!!

I've had the same problem quite a few times with random folders. The DOS deleting idea still works in Windows XP. Close all Explorer windows, and run the command prompt (Start | Run | cmd.exe) cd to the one level above the folder you want to delete and simply delete it using the del command. In my experience, it's worked...

My little brother made a directory about 500 or so levels deep... You can't delete it from the top directory, you need to work your way down... That took about 5 minutes to move down one level because the computer slowed down after a while... It said some system file in use because he had installed Personal Webserver (The MS one...), and shared out some folders... Amazing how a 3-4 year old can mess with a computer... Shortly after that, the HD died, and we had to get a new one... That was with Win98...
Edit: BTW: It said MS-DOS couldn't handle the long filenames and deep directories... It said boot up in windows to do it...
