^^^^ No problem. It's easy to forget all of the switches when you don't use DOS constantly. I didn't remember until I read your post!
That did the trick: I had to use the /S switch because there were files in that folder. (Though files that I couldn't even see in DOS.) And I had to add the /P switch while getting the folder names because there were so many folders.
Thanks everyone. I really (really!) appreciate the help -- I couldn't have done it without your help. Now my back is proceeding smoothly.
Ive been battling with this for a week...
Ive tried: F5, lockhunter, indexing, linux live, cmd del<foldername>...
you guys are like my own personal jesus christ's
"rd <folder> /S" worked!!!!
thanks so much!
If Killbox didn't work, try Unlocker which does good for me and is GUI based next time you have a problem that is similar.

Edit: Just read the rules again, is posting this link in this context considered advertising?
the above link is unsafe according to my ie8 browswer
A lot of sites popup unsafe.
It's on CNET too just as an FYI. That link above is the actual developer site.
My question was not whether it was safe or not, which i would never intentionally post an unsafe link, but whether it's considered advertising in the context by which it was posted.
