can't delete folders

I have found three folders that are empty in my Program Files folder in my C: drive. They are "xerox", "MSN Gaming Zone" and "microsoft frontpage". I have tried to delete them but I keep getting a warning telling me I can't do so. I have done this in regular startup mode as well as safe mode. In safe mode I can delete them but the next time I startup, they return. Any suggestions as to how to delete them? Thanks!
