I don't know if the following is your problem or not but whenever I can't
delete a folder it is because some other applications or DA has a directory
open to that folder or one inside that folder.  The fix: simply call up 
something which brings up the Standard File Dialog and switch to a different
folder. Then you can delete the folder! Simple as that.

Works for me.
