If you have root access, or if you own the folder, give the folder write permissions:

chmod +w foldername

Then you should be able to delete it. If you don't own the folder or if you don't have root access then you'll have to find someone who does.

Restart the computer and try again. One of the files is probably open, or one of the files is involved in a running process.

On Linux, most filesystems allow open files to be unlinked. – grawity Apr 9 '11 at 12:32
