Check if the problems arise due to your firewall settings of your antivirus. I faced a similar problem because Quickheal Firewall was preventing me from deleting it. Try uninstalling the firewall (if any) and then try deleting the files.

Give your user account the administrator rights...or reset the admin rights on the files in ur pc in the security option...
