Hi, first of all make sure you reboot your PC and don't have any applications running beside Explorer.
If this won't help you could boot in this nasty safe-mode. Do this with F8 during boot. This will usually take muuuuuch time, so be patient. And the display usually looks s---ty. Nevertheless you can then delete anything you want.

Safe Mode isn't supposed to look pretty! LOL It's there as a tool...
Anyway you can probably use the Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DELETE) and see what programs or services are running that might be using the files. Stop that program/service and see if that will let you delete!
