Try "Unlocker" to delete the files. Normally it work's fine. Seems you have done an update somewhere, which was not able to be finished. Just check google for the free download link.

Those folder are created by some HotFix updates. You need to grant you user permission to remove them.

Folders like that are tempory locations for windows updates.
Go to accessories, tools, Disk cleanup and run it. Then remove items.

you can get unlocker here (free)

hey GUys,

thanks for the info, all links have a virus warning when I wanne download them

any luck we find a un-virus link

[deadone]

well the unlocker program is free and should be %100 virus free.
you might want to do a complete virus scan or change your antivirus software.

what firewall / antivirus are you currently using

NOD32 Mick,

I have tried more webpages to DL the program, all I get is NOD32 warnings on all I try

well if your using nod32 then im sure to say that the alert you are recieving for the unlocker program is a false positive alert.
you can allow this download from within the nod interface.

im currently using bitdefender total security and from time to time i also get these alerts.
if i know it to be save i add it to the safe sections or at times disable my software while i download then restart it.

false positives mainly come from anything, also known as a false detection or false alarm, occurs when an antivirus program detects a known virus string in an uninfected file. The file, while not infected with an actual virus, does contain a string of characters that matches a string from an actual virus.

Yeah, it has to be a false positive. I've seen the program available to download from quite a few reputable sites.
