Another possibility, you aren't viewing the hidden files in that folder, and they're being used...

Few other possibilites.
You are not the owner of that folder if it belongs to another user on your computer or network.
Or, you have a virus/trojan/malware that has a program running. Scan for Malware with updated Adaware and spybot. If you still cannot delete, boot into safe mode and try deleting it.
