Bring up the properties of the folder and select the security tab and check to see if your admin group has read/write permissions over the folder.

I've had that problem the odd time, I've tried to delete something, and that message would pop up, either that or something telling me that the file/folder was being used by some other program..

I've always been able to get rid of it after an reboot... So try that...
