Try deleting the files under the directory (or directories if there are sub-directories) one at a time. When you have deleted everything that you are able to delete, shutdown and restart your PC. Repeat this process until you are finally able to delete everything under and then the directory itself.
It is kind of brute force, but what you are effectively doing by this process is attempting to break the program, process, or service that has the hold on this to the point where it can no longer run and thereby gives up it's hold.
Unless you can identify the program, process, or service that has this hold and disable it top-down, knocking out the foundation is the next best approach.
