Oops, I didn't read it too carefully the first time. You can try booting in safe mode, and then deleting.

goto folder options, disable simple file sharing, then ok.
then do properties on the folder and goto security tab then advance then you hsould be able to inherit ownership. do whatever you want afterwrds

delete them by DOS, command prompt. It should work that way but you would neet to know the DOS commands. Dont know them all offhand, but they have their collection just type help in dos.
