[quote="leo"]Are they setup.exe files you've just run or ones that have been there for a while?
Setup wizards often stay around for a few seconds after you click Finish and their windows close, cleaning up some remaining stuff.[/quote]
The setup-files are old, I mean, I was cleaning up old stuff (setup's were not launched)

It could also be real-time anti-virus software getting in the way. [/quote]
I am not sure about this, as said, in this particular case that prompted me to post this mail, it involved some older files on a backupdrive.
I can easily delete the files one by one and then delete the parent folder, that got me the access denied error in the first place.
There may be other programs that might lock the folders (e.g. am running SyncBackPro in the background some times,
but certainly DKService.exe = Diskeeper is active).
But then again, if either my antivirus program, or any other application wud be locking the folders/files, I wonder why it still
allows me to delete the individual files and then the parent folder..?
To make it even more strange...: this is nót happening all the times, but by now regularly enough to know that whén it does,
then I should proceed as above.
