    Restart your computer...

    Happened to me alot of times.

    Windows is doing crap with it so you can't remove it.

    You probably need to change your user into a admin, or go on the user with admin.

    Try reading that to help, you probably need full control to delete the file.

    I'm the only user, so i'm the only account, so i better have admin privileges with everything i've installed today =/
    and also, UAC is disabled, so that wouldn't be a cause...
    EDIT: just checked out your link, i gave my self full control at first install of Windows7 :p

    didn't see that you already tried unlocker...


    if all else fails, try to first delete the contents of the folder first, and then mark the folder itself as hidden, and you won't see it

    I think Vista and Windows 7 has a hidden admin account, you might be able to use that to delete the folder.
