Use unlocker. Or a good linux distro live Dvd to get rid of them maybe.

No idea on the Windows Software side, but you can use any Linux Live CD/DVD to delete it.

If you have any Linux Live cd/dvds, we can help you further on the same.

First try the method of jojothedragon (unlocker) if it not works then run a chkdsk on that drive.

GO to run ->cmd->chkdsk x: (x is the drive letter of ur drive in which that file are)
