Page 2 - Can't delete folder in XP.

It happen to me too.

maybe you have a hidden file in the folder that is being paged and is queued in a process. Unhide all folder contents. Delete any hidden folders (as long as they are not system critical), refresh the folder and then delete it.
To solve the problem, reboot your pc in safe mode (press F8) and delete the folder. (Safe mode allows only essential processes to run).
