is the folder empty? dbl-click and go in... ctrl+A to select all... shift+del will perma-erase all files. then back out and try removing the folder again.
of course, you could rename the folder when you select it... just hit F2 and type a name.

If I do that it says "cannot delete file: cannot read from source file or disk" I get the same message from trying to rename it also. I think windows is just freaking out because its a file with no name and you cannot create that from within windows. I think I need to boot without windows to delete it.
edit: a quick google search took me to http://www.softwarepatch.com/tips/howto-delete-xp.html and the download @ step 6 worked like a charm. Sorry for wasting your time!
