Cannot delete empty folder!

[Ray]

My OS is XP Pro.
There is an empty folder in the 'Local Settings/Temp' folder that will not
delete.
The message I get is 'Cannot move file: Cannot read from the source file or
disk'
I have tried deleting it in Safe Mode but to no avail.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

delete and to rename one or more files or folders which are in use by the system or any other
process.

which are currently in use (e.g. system files like comctl32.dll, or virus/trojan files.)
