Try to get an old version of Norton commander (dos-version), and use

Deleting with NortonCommander will almost always succeed, because

It's not very likely Norton Commander for DOS will run in XP, or if it
does it won't be allowed to directly access the disk, particularly if
formatted for NTFS.
i just tested it - nc works... however, it's just a consumer of the dos
api calls - ntfs won't bother it anymore than it bothers the original
'del' command at the command prompt...
