Cannot delete temp folder created by Windows Update

Hi everybody ... I hope someone can help. :-)

While installing KB922582, Windows Update created a directory -
C:\3ec9f6c4f00be0a6790fa5ba6b4b68

For some reason, the update stalled and the computer froze, so I had
to reboot. I tried to install KB922582 again and it worked. However,
the folder it originally created - C:\3ec9f6c4f00be0a6790fa5ba6b4b68 -
still exists and I can't delete it. I've tried everything: I booted in
to Safe Mode and tried to delete it ... I shut down Explorer and tried
to delete the folder from the command prompt ... I used third-party
utilities like Unlocker and SysInternals Process Explorer to delete it
.... I used System Restore ... NOTHING worked!

I even tried reinstalling the update from within the
C:\3ec9f6c4f00be0a6790fa5ba6b4b68 folder (the files are still there)
so that the folder would automatically be deleted when the
installation was completed, but that didn't work either.

There are three sub-folders and 16 files within the
C:\3ec9f6c4f00be0a6790fa5ba6b4b68 folder and I get the same error
message for every file ... even the eula.txt file!

The error message is:
Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected
and that the file is not currently in use.



Is there ANY way to get rid of this folder?

Any advice would be appreciated. :-)
