Unable to delete Folder

M

MapleE.

Hi:
I am NOT able to delete one of folders, ... say, ... "January folder,'
in my Picture on my Document.

Every time I attempted to delete, it says, ....
".... someone using this folder. .... needs administrator's
permission, ... etc."
This computer is solely using myself without anyone bothering.

My question is;
How to delete this, un-needed folder in my Picture on my Document?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Restart Windows and try removing the folder again. If that does not help, check these pages for other ideas:
