I have at various stages copied cd's on to my pc. In trying to delete some of
these albums I am now encountering a problem. When I right click on a folder
to delete it and all the tracks within it I am getting an error message:

"cannot delete folder. it is being used by another person or program. close
any programs that might be using the file and try again."

I have tried deleting the albums via media player - 'remove from library and
computer' - and for some albums this has worked - I have then been able to go
to 'my music' in My documents and delete the empty folders, but for others
this still won't work. Please can anyone help me out?

Try to perform the deletion through Safe Mode and see if you are able to
delete them.
Or download this tool:
