Hi,
Try this article
SYMPTOMS
===========
When you try to delete folders that are stored on a mounted drive and to
send them to the Recycle Bin, you may receive the following error message:
Cannot delete Foldername: Access is denied. The source file may be in use.
CAUSE
======
This behavior occurs because the Recycle Bin does not understand mounted
volumes. For example, assume that the following drive layout is in use:
C: -- 1-gigabyte (GB) drive using the NTFS file system
C:\Host-dir -- The mount point for a separate 9-GB drive
When you try to delete a folder with the path C:\Host-dir\Mydir, Windows
Explorer interprets the folder as being on drive C and tries unsuccessfully
to place it in the Recycle Bin on drive C.
WORKAROUND
===============
To work around this issue, use either of the following methods:
When you delete the files or folders by using Windows Explorer, use the
SHIFT+DELETE key combination. This bypasses the Recycle Bin.
Open a command prompt window and then use the rd /s /q command to delete
the files or folders.
Note Both of these methods permanently delete the data. You cannot recover
the data unless you have a current backup.
STATUS
=========
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products
that are listed at the beginning of this article.
Thanks,
