from a dos prompt type
Start -> Run -> cmd [enter]
type
chkdsk c: /F
asuming c: is your hard disk drive that should go through all your files and folders and fix any issues with corruption you should then be able to delete your directory

First thing to do is to make sure that any download programs are closed usually they lock the folder when running and then try and delete the folder.
Then if not go to start - run type cmd
in there you need to get to the desktop folder you'll need to type cd desktop
then type dir /x there you'll get a out put like this
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>dir /x
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is ACB1-BFC4
Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator
