There is nothing else open, but windows still won't let me delete the folder. (lemm.ee)

Almost seems like you might have some sort of virus or malware.

There's a magic registry key that can force delete folders and files before Windows has even finished booting. It's intended to be used during Windows updates, but when used creatively, can perform some brute force fixes.

This link isn't exactly relevant, but I'm not home right now to dig that deep into the registry to offer that sort of advice at the moment.

If that doesn't help, hit me up later and I'll do my best to turn the registry inside out..

A reboot fixed it, its just weird that it happened.
