presuming that u know how to work ur way across directories using
command prompt, do this:

go to start->run. type 'command' (without the inverted comma). hit
enter

once the console comes up, work ur way to the directory where the files
to ve deleted are located.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del and from the processes tab select 'explorer.exe' and
right click on that and select 'end process'. once done return back to
the console and delete the files that u wud want to delete using the
del command. once all files within a particular directory have been
removed (deleted) go one directory level up and remove the empty
directory. when done, press Ctrl+Alt+Del once again and click 'new
task'. in the box that comes up type 'explorer' and hit enter. u r done
now.
Hope this solves ur problem. Enjoy
