Have you checked the access control Lists, this is the method that
Windows XP uses to control whom, can or cant read or write to a file,
I'd also recommend left flicking the folder in question and seeing if th
box next to read only is checked this could be part of the issue9
(though not possible.

***************************************
Resolution:
1. Boot in Safe Mode
2. navigate to directory that contains file or folder in a command
prompt
3. cacls filename(orfoldername) /P username:perm
example: i deleted the following folder by going to the deepest level
and deleting the files there then coming up to delete the root folder.
the folder i was trying to delete was called backups with a sub folder
path of \music\songs\lyrics\songa.mp3
navigate to \lyrics so when you dir you see songa.mp3 in the list.
cacls songa.mp3 /P administrator:F (administrator is the account i
used) (F is for Full permission)
are you sure Y/N (select yes)
delete the file.
It cleaned me up...i then ran a chkdsk /f /r because the folder said
it had 800mb in it, but all i could see was a 2mb file. Sometimes
windows just goes out to lunch. GOOD LUCK!!
