First, I hope you are VERY sure you don't need this foler. If you are, you can try to boot to Safe Mode or Safe Mode Command Prompt and attempt deletion from there. If you are still unable to delete the pesky folder, you can download tools like Knoppix or ERD and other boot CD's that will almost always allow deletion. Just be careful!
Thanks, MAC

You've probably already tried this, but the only way I know how to delete it would be to close all unecessary services and TSR's. Outside of that, you may want to use a program that shows all services running regardless of whether or not they are hidden to help with that. That's all I have. Sorry!
