Are you an administrator account? If you are not Windows will not allow you
to remove folders of other users.

yes, i am the only administrator account, and only other account

Try taking ownership of the folder(s), give yourself full access to them, and
delete them.

Fun Fact!: Pressing the Shift key while selecting to delete the file will
make it bypass the recycle bin and erase it from your machine alltogether.
