Are you logged into the PC as administrator? Just Checking. Think you may need to be.

one word: Windows, windows does things without any reason. try doing it in safe mode. some more info would help too (what OS, how are you trying to delete it (cmd line, Admin tools, control panel,etc..)

Tap the F8 key a couple times when you start the computer. Youll be given the option, select "Start Windows in Safe Mode".
