it seems there is a virus in your pendrive.
goto>My computer> tools menu>folder option> view > choose show hidden files and folder option
also uncheck both:
1. Hide extension for known file types
2. Hide protected operating system files

Now poen your pendrive it shows suspecious hidden files. Delete them.

if noone of the above works, boot with ubuntu linux, navigate to usb drive and manually delete all contents.

You cannot cut and paste the folder if folder is used by another program(Access Denied) without the help of any special software such as Unlocker.

^^Even if you are able to cut and paste the file by any way, it won't get deleted.
