You may have to alter the permissions.
You don't say what OS you are using.
Try here for Win XP:

Look here for Vista:

I hate when it does that. Go into safe mode (hit F8 when the computer first boots, then select any of the safe modes). Then login as administrator (should be no password). The screen will look big and funky- don't worry about that. Then you can delete the files or folder. There you go!
Im pretty sure that means the folder that it was in has been deleted, try restarting your computer and see if the files are still there.
the files you downloaded have little grabbers... they open and wont close when you exit the item.
and, you will always get these errror messages...
theres 2 ways i know of which works.
1 close the file, and open another folder in your filemanager... then, sneak up on teh file... and left click. delete. but.. these little grabbers have eyes in teh backs of tehir heads...and they dont always release... so you get the error message, again.
and tehres method 2. boot into safe mode (F8) log on as admin, and delete them then... do not open the file...because yes, youll wake up them grabbers... and its reboot and start again.
once your OS opens a file, you cant delete it... until its no longer in use.
try this:

it's unlocker. after installing, right-click on the file, go to unlocker, then when the window comes up, from the bottom left, choose the action to Delete (from the drop-down menu), the click the Unlock All button.
If you don't want the software installed, uninstall it after you're finished getting rid of the file.
try taking it into safe mode and then delete them see if that work if not then windows won't allow you to remove them it mite have something to do with your OS and mite be needed
