Deleting Access denied folder

[Guest]

A Download exe.exe folder with a string of numbers for a name. When I try
to delete it access is denied. Even logged on to the administrator account.

Having installed something is there no way I can remove it?

You can try this utility from Microsoft (Sysinternals) or I believe that
Barts book disk might allow you to boot to a cd and delete file in a PE
environment.

MoveFile - Schedule file rename and delete commands for the next reboot.
This can be useful for cleaning stubborn or in-use malware files.

There is also a utility named: Unlocker
I have not used it but it has been mentioned a number of times.
