Try this; Log in as the Administrator, not a user in the Administrator group, then make sure the Administrator is the owner then delete it. You might also have problems deleteing it because theres a hidden file in the folder called desktop.ini which is active anytime anyone logs in not just the current user, so you might see a few complaints about it. I think desktop.ini is active for all users because of the capability to switch users.

Just curious, why do you want to delete it anyway?
