    Log into your system as administrator, and try that. Which files are you wanting to delete?

    I will want to know what those files are. If those are important system files, they should not be deleted.

    Otherwise, you may have a try with Unlocker.

    Edit : Now I know that those are adobe files. What does that mean ? Files in adobe's installation directory ? Or files generated by adobe programs ?

    For first option right, dont delete please.
    For second option right, if a restart does not work, go for Unlocker .
