have u tried:
1. restarting your pc
2. dragging file into recycle bin
3. deleting with command prompt(dont know if it works for vista) -example attached.-
basically type
rmdir <filename>
and it deletes it

often have this problem.
Sometimes, for no reason at all, a folder or file (especially large videos, etc.) will be undeletable or unmovable from explorer for no apparent reason. Disable all services, close all programs, sill says it's in use.
Thought it was system restore, so I disabled that...still no effect.

F5 and restarting don't seem to work, but there is something that does...
command line! del and move work just fine on these crazy files/folders.

You can even open up a prompt, type "delete " and drag the file/folder onto the prompt, no need to type the location/name.

Sorry For The Double Post. But i have a new plan.

Even though you are the system admin... you still might not have "ownership" of the file/folder. Go To This link on the microsoft help topics...http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308421
It tells you how to take ownership and delete these painfully annoying files.
