Hi lakers, welcome to the forums

It looks like a simple permissions issue. If you read the following tutorial you should be able to resolve the issue http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1911-take-ownership-shortcut.html

You either need Unlocker or to change ownership on the folder.
A link to start you with the latter is here Change the permissions and take ownership of your files and folders | Windows Vista, XP and Windows 7 Tutorials, but there is a utility (reg hack) that places an item on the context menu.

Good luck

have you tried to delete the contents in the folder and then if that works the folder should delete after

You could always try it the manual way.

Right-click the folder and select 'Properties' and under the Security tab click 'Advanced'



Under 'Owner' click 'Edit' and select your user, then make sure the 'Replace ownder on subcontainers and objects' is checked then click 'Apply' then 'Ok'



This should then run through the File/Folder properties script and hopefully you should be able to delete the folder.
