Deleting Old Sysvol Folder.

Comment:
My sysvol folder became corrupt so I pulled a copy from backup. I wanted to compare the corrupted one with the good one so I restored to an alternative location first and also wanted to be careful so I made copies of the corrupted syvol (I would delete it later).
The restore got everthing working again but the problem now is that I have 4 old sysvol folders on my c: drive that I cannot delete. The message I am getting is:
-------------- Cannot delete DO_NOT_REMOVE_Ntfrs_PreInstall Directory: There has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use. --------------
The folder is not shared. I have full control of the folder/subfolders and I have ownership.
